The table above includes the funding provided to local authorities to deliver social housing in partnership with Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) through the following schemes:
- Capital Assistance Scheme (CAS)
- Capital Advance Leasing Facility (CALF)
- AHB Mortgage to Rent Scheme (MTR)
- Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme (SHCEP).
The funding for these AHB delivery schemes is provided by my Department directly to the local authorities which, in turn, advance the funding to AHBs as appropriate. The funding provided for these specific schemes for each year over the period 2011 to 2018 is set out in the table below.

In addition, over the same period, funding of €529m was provided to local authorities in respect of the now closed AHB Capital Loan & Subsidy Scheme for the repayment of loan charges to the Housing Finance Agency, and for the AHB Communal Facilities Scheme which provides funding toward the capital costs of providing communal facilities in voluntary housing schemes.
In relation to the number of social housing units provided by AHBs, the table below shows a breakdown of additional AHB delivery across all delivery streams over the period 2011 to Q3 2018. Final outputs for 2018 will be published shortly.
