Local authority housing construction and improvement works programmes, including planned maintenance and remedial works, are discussed with each local authority as part of the preparation and review of their Housing Action Plans. Arising out of this authorities may seek Exchequer support for improvement works under a number of schemes. Local authorities may also apply, on approval by the Department, Internal Capital Receipts from the sale of local authority houses to the undertaking of improvement works.
