Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 October 2018
536. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of leased social housing units under the SCHEP and related programmes for the most recent date available by local authority, in tabular form. [40944/18]
View answerThe Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme (SHCEP) was introduced in February 2009. Since then the programme has been expanded on a number of occasions to provide for new types of supply and to involve a greater range of agencies and bodies in providing accommodation. SHCEP supports the delivery of social housing by providing financial support to local authorities for the long term leasing of houses and apartments from private owners, developers and Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs). Properties made available under the programme are used to accommodate households from local authority waiting lists. Leased properties are allocated to tenants in accordance with the relevant local authority’s allocation scheme.
Dwellings under the scheme come from a number of different sources including private owners, Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs), Part V and the NAMA Special Purpose Vehicle (NARPS).
The following table sets out the number of dwellings supported under SHCEP by Local Authority at end Q2 2018.
