I assume that the question refers to assistance from my Department under the voluntary housing schemes.
My Department's involvement with the schemes relates primarily to the provision of funds for individual projects. The administration of the schemes, and the certification that particular projects comply with the terms of the schemes, are the responsibility of the local authority.
Approved housing bodies in liaison with local authorities have responsibility for the proper management of their dwellings, the operation of letting policies, fixing of rents, adequate repairs and maintenance systems to ensure the preservation of the dwellings and compliance with all relevant statutory regulations.
There is no requirement on housing associations to provide accounts specifically to tenants, however, as a company limited by guarantee, they are required to make annual returns to the Companies Registration Office and these returns are available to the general public on request. In addition, housing authorities have the right to inspect the financial accounts on projects funded under the voluntary schemes.
