Assessment of Housing Needs

Summary

Barrett said the White Paper’s assessment used the same statutory housing-authority assessments conducted each year; Quinn also asked who compiled the paper.

Regarding the extent of local authority housing needs, is there any difference between the specific assessment referred to in paragraph 5 of the White Paper and the traditional supplying of figures by local authorities? Was the assessment the same as in other years?

Comment on this

That assessment was based on the assessments of housing needs as seen by housing authorities in accordance with section 53 of the Housing Act.

Is that not what they do every year?
