Written answers

The following table sets out the funding provided by my Department to local authorities for the acquisition of new and previously owned housing and apartments for use as social housing units from 2011 to date. This includes direct purchases, purchases under Part V arrangements and the delivery of turnkey projects. Some local authorities also fund acquisitions from their own resources such as local property tax receipts and that spending is not reflected in the table. In relation to 2016, while not all local authorities have drawn down funding from my Department up to this point, all are pursuing the acquisition of new and previously owned housing and apartments.
