View answerTable 1 below gives details of allocations notified earlier this year to local authorities under certain housing programmes namely, social housing capital, Traveller accommodation, regeneration/remedial works, energy efficiency and private housing grants. Funding so allocated may include the construction or acquisition of social housing within the overall funding now available. Table 2 below outlines the total available under the Capital Assistance Scheme, communal facilities, mortgage allowance and site subsidies programmes where allocations are not made on an individual local authority basis but rather an overall allocation is set and recoupment is made to individual local authorities on the basis of demand.
