Housing group urges applicants to register for social housing

ONE of the country’s main housing federations has warned people who are in need of social housing to register with their local authority before March 31.

The Irish Council for Social Housing yesterday expressed concern that people looking to be put on council lists for social housing were not being made aware of the deadline.

March 31 is the closing date for the assessment of the national need for housing which is carried out only every three years by the State authorities.
