1859. Deputy Eoghan Kenny asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if his Department will publish a five-year national community living strategy for adults with an intellectual disability, prepared jointly by his Department of Children, Disability and Equality, the HSE, local authorities and approved housing bodies; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [58844/26]

My Department jointly published the National Housing Strategy for Disabled People (NHSDP) 2022-2027 and Implementation Plan with the Department of Health and the Department of Children, Disability, and Equality. The Strategy and Implementation Plan may be accessed on my Department’s website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/publication/60d76-national-housing-strategy-for-disabled-people-2022-2027/. The Implementation Plan sets out the actions to achieve the vision of the joint Strategy for delivering housing and related supports for disabled people to 2027 operating under the new housing plan Delivering Homes, Building Communities 2025-2030.

My Department, in conjunction with local authorities and AHBs, continues to work and engage with the Department of Children, Disability and Equality, and the HSE within the framework of the National Housing Strategy for Disabled People. This is to ensure aligned delivery of the disability care services supports for independent living for disabled people, including those from residential settings, with the provision of independent living accommodation to meet the needs of disabled people.
