Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 March 2021
377. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the amount of funding his Department has provided to voluntary housing associations based in County Kildare to maintain and upgrade their social housing stock over the past three years by AHB, location and amount in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12651/21]
View answerMy Department operates a number of funding programmes that assist local authorities to work in partnership with Approved Housing Bodies to construct, purchase or lease new homes and make them available for social housing.
This funding is underpinned by either mortgage agreements, capital advance agreements, leases or Payment & Availability agreements, which set out the terms and conditions of the funding and the specific responsibilities the Approved Housing Body has for the properties and their tenants.
Where an Approved Housing Body has purchased or constructed a property that is in their ownership, the responsibility for management and maintenance of that property is a matter for them to meet, in most cases, from their own income. This income is derived, in the main, from a combination of rent payments from the tenant and monthly payments made by the local authority to the Approved Housing Bodies in accordance with a Payment & Availability agreement which is in place for each of these properties.
The main area in which specific management and maintenance fees are provided to Approved Housing Bodies relates to properties delivered via the now closed Capital Loan & Subsidy Scheme (CLSS). The table below sets out the funding made available by my Department to Kildare County Council over the last 3 years, for provision to Approved Housing Bodies for the management and maintenance of their CLSS-funded properties.
