235. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will provide details on the updated social housing income bands for County Westmeath. [50957/22]
View answerI recently approved changes to the social housing income eligibility bands. From 1 October, five local authorities - Carlow, Clare, Galway County, Laois and Westmeath - moved from Band 3 to Band 2. Accordingly, the baseline income eligibility threshold for these areas increased from €25,000 to €30,000.
A table setting out the details of the three bands and the limits currently applicable in each local authority area is available on my Department's website on the following link:www.gov.ie/en/publication/04c69-social-housing-support-table-of-income-limits/
