Wexford County Council , in accordance with ‘Housing for All Delivery Action Plan 2022-2026’, is actively working on developing affordable housing over the coming years. The purpose of an affordable housing scheme is to provide houses at a reduced price for eligible applicants. Notwithstanding the eligibility criteria that are contained in the Regulations for any scheme, the Council wishes to establish the level of interest in County Wexford for affordable dwellings.
To facilitate this Wexford County Council is now launching an online survey for people who feel they may be eligible to acquire or rent an affordable home from the council. The survey will help in determining the level of interest in affordable housing purchase and cost rental and is for the purpose of gathering information on:
- income levels,
- family size,
- housing type and
- location preference
The information will be used to inform the Council on the level of demand and locations for affordable houses and the house prices that people can afford. This will aid us in designing a scheme with the right type of homes, at the locations and price points that suit your needs insofar as possible.
Availability of any affordable housing schemes progressed by the Council in the future will be advertised separately, and there will be a formal application process will apply in accordance with the legislation in place at that time.
Complete the survey
The survey will be open for 8 weeks initially, to close the 10th April 2024. Data is collected for survey purposes only and there will be no follow up correspondence to submissions. All information provided will be retained in full adherence to Wexford County Council’s Data Protection Policy and in compliance with GDPR requirements.
Please note - This survey is now closed to submissions. Thank you for your interest.
