From Jan 1st 2023, social housing income eligibility thresholds in Local Authorities across the country have been increased by €5,000.

 

Commenting Minister O’Brien said, “It’s been over a decade since any changes have been made to the income eligibility thresholds and under Housing for All a commitment was made to review the eligibility limits.

 

“The new income limits are now in place across the country and all Local Authorities will have updated their own application forms and systems.
