Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide, in tabular form, the amount of funding for housing construction that has been released to each local authority by his Department since the announcement of the Social Housing Strategy 2020. [17631/15]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 546 and 547 together.
The social housing targets that I recently announced for all local authorities are out to 2017 and include almost 7,500 units that will be capital-funded and 15,400 current-funded units. My announcement also contained provisional funding allocations which are sufficient to deliver the targeted units. Details in tabular form are available on my Department’s website at the following link: http://www.environ.ie/en/DevelopmentHousing/Housing/News/MainBody,41016,en.htm.
On 5 May 2015, I announced the first major direct build social housing programme under the Social Housing Strategy. This announcement covers over 100 separate housing projects across all 31 local authorities and details are available on my Department’s website at the following link:
http://www.environ.ie/en/DevelopmentHousing/Housing/News/MainBody,41340,en.htm.
Since the launch of the Social Housing Strategy 2020 in November 2014, almost €90 million has been drawn down by local authorities under my Department’s two main capital programmes for the delivery of additional social housing units. Details of this funding from 26 November 2014 to 30 April 2015 are outlined in tabular form.
