Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 30 September 2020
105. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the supports available for a project (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27414/20]
View answerMy Department offers a range of funding programmes to assist the voluntary sector with the delivery of new social housing projects, including the Capital Assistance Scheme (CAS) and the Capital Advance Leasing Facility (CALF).
Management and maintenance of existing social housing developments are a matter for the property owners. Putting in place adequate maintenance budgets and a sinking fund to provide for response based, cyclical and planned maintenance is a critical part of this process. My Department does not therefore provide funding for improvement works for existing housing developments under the CAS or CALF schemes.
