Under my Department’s Social Housing Investment Programme, funding is provided to local authorities for a range of measures to improve the quality and standard of the social housing stock, including the regeneration of disadvantaged estates and flat complexes, estate-wide remedial works, the energy retrofitting of older properties and the provision of extensions and adaptations to meet the specific needs of tenants. Details of the funding allocated under such measures to Westmeath and Longford County Councils for 2013 are set out in the following table:
