Wexford County Council has launched an Affordable Housing Survey where first-time buyers and other applicants who feel they may be eligible to buy or rent an affordable home are invited to complete the survey.
Cathaoirleach of Wexford County Council, Cllr John Fleming welcomed the survey and said; “The survey provides a real opportunity to assess affordable housing need in County Wexford, I would encourage everyone who may be interested in an affordable home to take five minutes to complete the survey.”
Cllr Fleming was supported by the Chairperson of the Housing and Community Strategic Policy Committee, Cllr Joe Sullivan, who stated; “In order for us to plan for future affordable housing demand we need to establish the types of housing and the locations where they need to be delivered.”
Following the publication of an ambitious Housing Delivery Action Plan in 2022, Wexford County Council is progressing plans for the supply of affordable housing in County Wexford for the coming years.
As part of this process, Wexford County Council is seeking to establish the level of interest in potential affordable housing in areas throughout the county.
An Affordable Housing Survey has been launched, inviting those who meet the affordable housing criteria to have their say on their preferred needs. The information will be used to inform the Council on the level of demand, locations preferred, and the house prices that people might be able to afford. It will help the Council to formulate its plans for Affordable Housing Options.
Any affordable housing schemes progressed by the Council in the future will be advertised separately, and a formal application process will apply in accordance with the legislation in place at that time.
The online survey is open now and will close on April 10th.
