Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 October 2021
486. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will confirm the membership of his Departmental working group on the review of the CAS AHB Green Book; the way and location a person or group may make a submission; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51217/21]
View answerThe 'CAS Green Book' is not currently undergoing a review within my Department but any Approved Housing Body (AHB) or individual that wishes to receive information on the Capital Assistance Scheme (CAS) or to raise a query, can of course contact my Department or their local authority on the matter.
My Department has ongoing contacts with the Irish Council for Social Housing – the network body for AHBs in Ireland – and with many individual AHBs involved with CAS on an ongoing basis.
Through the supports being provided under Housing for All, CAS will continue to provide capital funding to AHBs for the further development of housing for vulnerable/priority areas to include older persons, accommodation for individuals and families who are homeless, housing for people with a disability and to meet the housing and accommodation needs of a range of vulnerable individuals and families.
