2015 €M |

Under CAS, funding of up to 100% of project costs may be advanced by local authorities to Approved Housing Bodies to provide accommodation for the elderly, homeless and people with disabilities. The scheme is administered by the local authorities and my Department does not have details of the funding specifically advanced for each separate category.
