My Department has two programmes which provide support to local authorities for the refurbishment of vacant local authority social housing units that may require a greater level of remediation than the normal level of pre-letting repairs. The Voids programme, which commenced in 2014 provides funding support of up to €30,000 per unit. The Derelicts programme was introduced in 2016 to provide additional support to local authorities in remediating more seriously derelict social houses.
Details are provided in the following table regarding the 2016 applications from local authorities seeking funding for the remediation of 2,658 units under these two programmes. Funding was allocated for 2,227 units, 75 units were declined and a further 356 late applications received are currently being reviewed.
