If you are assessed as eligible you will be placed on our Housing Waiting List in order of date of application.

Housing Areas
You may apply to one local authority only. If you are applying to us you can choose up to three housing areas in the Dublin region, at least one of which must be in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.
Your other two areas may be in Dublin City, South Dublin County or Fingal County. If you opt for an area in any other county, we will forward your information to that local authority. We will manage your application. You can make changes to your areas of choice once in any twelve month period by completing an Area of Choice Form.
How long will it take before I am offered housing?
Unfortunately, this cannot be determined. There is a long list of applicants waiting for Social Housing Support.
What happens if I refuse an offer of housing?
If you refuse an offer on a property that you have bid for on our Choice Based Letting system, you will be suspended from bidding for any other property for one year.
If you refuse two offers of housing in a year, your application will be suspended for a year and the suspension period will not count towards your time on the list.
How can I change information on my application?
You can email housingallocations@dlrcoco.ie or post in your details to:
Allocations Section, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, County Hall, Marine Road, Dún Laoghaire, Co Dublin.
