Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 September 2020
93. Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the cost of Part V social housing units by local authority in each of the years 2015 to 2019; the average cost of each unit by local authority for the same period; the number of leased Part V units by local authority; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25775/20]
View answerPart V units can be delivered through a range of programmes funded by my Department, including:
- The Social Housing Capital Investment Programme which is Local Authority (LA) led and 100% capital funded
- The Capital Assistance Scheme which is Approved Housing Body (AHB) led and 100% capital funded
- The Capital Advance Leasing Facility which is AHB led and operates with a range of 0% to 30% capital loan funding and ongoing lease under a Payment and Availability Agreement
- Social Housing Current Expenditure Programmme Part V which is generally LA led with homes leased using current funding; and
- LA own funding or Cost neutral which are Part V units delivered by LAs not claiming Exchequer funding.
Each Part V programme has its own discreet data requirements and data held on file. My Department is working with delivery partners to collate all of the data sought. This work is almost complete and will be made available to the Deputy as soon as possible.
