Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Planning for Inclusive Communities: Discussion
Ms Una Nagle:
Each local authority area has a housing and disability steering committee in place under the previous NDIS. I would ask them whether everybody who needs housing is on their housing list, what their plan is and how they will prioritise? Have they done a feasibility study on needs and what can be delivered within a reasonable timeframe while being accountable for how they allocate funding? While we are represented on those committees, they seem to be going around in circles and little planning is done in those forums. The intentional strategy was that it would be a steering group to oversee the delivery of housing for persons with disabilities.
