Applications have opened for almost 30 new cost rental homes in Cork city.
Clúid, the Approved Housing Body (AHB), has opened the applications for the 28 new homes at Longview in Ballyvolane, where rent will be offered at a 30% discount.
The development, comprising a mix of A-rated homes, will feature landscaped green areas, play spaces and a new greenway.
Eligible applicants will be able to apply for one of the five two-bed houses, with a rent of €1,340 per month, or one of the 23 three-bed houses, with a rent of €1,479 per month.
To be eligible to rent one of the homes, applicants must be able to prove that their net household income is below €59,000 per year; that they are not receiving any social housing supports, such as HAP or rent supplement; that they can afford the rent; that they don’t own a property; and that the household is the correct size for the home.
Colin Byrne, who is the head of affordable rental with Clúid Housing, said that the company anticipates a “high level of interest” in the new homes at Longview.
“We’re delighted to be opening our third cost rental scheme in Cork City at Longview,” said Mr Byrne.
“We anticipate all these factors will lead to a high level of interest,” he added.
“In order to be included in the lottery for these homes, interested applicants need to complete an online application and provide the supporting documents outlined on the Clúid website.
The new homes, developed by Longview Estates Ltd, will be delivered by Clúid Housing in partnership with Cork City Council, the Department of Housing, Heritage and Local Government, the Housing Agency and the Housing Finance Agency.
The application process will close at 5pm on July 2, with residents expected to get their keys in late August.
