The Summary of Social Housing Assessment 2018 counts the total number of households qualified for social housing support, to inform policy and plan for the right types of housing support.

The report provides a breakdown of the data by set criteria – local authority, age, household composition, current tenure, basis of need, accommodation requirements, length of time on the list, etc.

The Housing Agency assisted the National Audit and Oversight Committee in the completion of this review. The review examines the effectiveness of local authorities in managing and maintaining their housing stock, i.e. dwellings that the local authorities either built or purchased for the purpose of providing social housing. It also examines the effectiveness of local authority processes for dealing with repairs requests, planned maintenance, the preparation of vacated units for re-letting, maximising occupancy, combatting anti-social behaviour and managing estates that are predominantly owned by local authorities.
This is the fifth annual progress report and seventh housing survey on tackling the issue of unfinished housing developments. This includes the results from the 2016 National Housing Development Survey which tracks progress on unfinished housing developments since 2010.
