Question:
To ask the Minister for Social Development, pursuant to AQW 32786/11-15, on how many sites will construction commence during this financial year.

Answer:

Plans are for housing associations to start a total of 2,000 new social homes during 2014/15. The information provided in AQW 32786/11-15 shows that Clanmil is programmed to start construction work on 28 sites with 629 new homes during the period. However, as also previously stated, the Clanmil programme is a gross programme and some schemes can be lost in year or slip to later years for a variety of reasons, such as delays in securing planning or inability to acquire a site.
