Abstract

The Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 (the 2009 Act)has updated and expanded many areas of social housing law. This takes place as the significance of social housing rises immeasurably within the financial rescue regime created by NAMA and the collapse of the normative owner-occupier housing market. Traditional notions of communitarianism and concern for the poor are clearly displaced in favour of positioning social housing within owner-occupier and rental market systems. The legislation provides a mechanism whereby unfinished or 'ghost estates' appropriated by NAMA can be used for social housing.
