The Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme (SHCEP) supports the delivery of social housing by providing financial support to local authorities for the leasing of houses and apartments.
Long term lease arrangements can be entered into by either local authorities or approved housing bodies (AHBs) for periods of between 10 and 25 years.
A breakdown by local authority of the total number of long-term leases delivered in 2021 and Q1 2022 can be found in Table 1 below:
