Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 October 2018
690. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of social housing current expenditure programme, SCHEP, funded properties by approved housing body, AHB, build (details supplied) in tabular form; and the details for the SCHEP-funded properties targeted with funding in budget 2019. [43495/18]
View answerThe Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme (SHCEP) is a funding programme that supports the delivery of social housing by providing financial support to local authorities and Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) for the long term leasing of houses and apartments from private owners and developers.
The SHCEP budget funds the ongoing current costs of homes delivered using a variety of different delivery mechanisms, including properties built or acquired by AHBs using funding under the Capital Advance Leasing Facility (CALF) and Housing Agency Acquisitions Fund (HAA), and leased to local authorities; properties leased on a longterm basis from private property owners by AHBs or local authorities, including properties secured through specific programmes such as the Repair and Leasing Scheme (RLS) and the Enhanced Leasing Scheme. Therefore, SHCEP is a complementary funding stream to a range of capital expenditure programmes like RLS, CALF and the Mortgage to Rent Scheme.
The 2019 budgetary provision for the SHCEP is €155 million which represents an increase of €40 million on the 2018 provision. This is expected to fund the ongoing cost of the existing social housing homes secured with support of the Programme at the end of 2018 which will amount to almost 14,000. In addition, over 4,800 new social housing homes, targeted for delivery across the build, acquisition and leasing streams in 2019 are to be funded under the Programme.
The breakdown of the new social housing homes, by delivery stream, targeted to be funded by SHCEP 2019 is set out in the table below:
