It is a matter for individual housing authorities to plan the composition and management of their social housing investment programmes having regard to the specific social housing needs and priorities in their areas and to the Exchequer funding allocations available to them.
The annual allocations for the Social Housing Investment Programme will issue in March 2010 following discussions with each housing authority at Housing Action Plan meetings which are currently underway. Housing authorities have been issued with provisional allocations for 2010 to enable them to maintain momentum on their work programmes and as a basis for discussion at the Action Plan meetings.
