Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 May 2015
193. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide, in tabular form, by local authority, the number of housing units which have been leased by local authorities, under the social housing leasing initiative, from 2009 to 2014. [18827/15]
View answerTo the end of April 2015, over 6,000 housing units have been delivered under the Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme, previously referred to as the Social Housing Leasing Initiative, since the same began in 2009.
The Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme comprises a range of methods for local authorities and approved housing bodies (AHB’s) to deliver units for social housing. These include units sourced by local authorities under long term leases or rental arrangements and the use of unsold affordable units for social housing. Units sourced by AHB’s can be through long term lease arrangements or by purchasing and constructing units. Units have also been sourced through NAMA’s Special Purpose Vehicle units which are leased to AHBs or local authorities. A breakdown of units delivered to date by local authority is set out in the table below.
