Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 October 2022
90. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the process to apply for and avail of Departmental funding for a proposed community housing project (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53758/22]
View answerThe main sources of funding provided by my Department to Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) for the provision of social housing, including community housing projects, are made through the Capital Advance Leasing Facility Scheme or the Capital Assistance Scheme. Applications by AHBs for funding under these programmes should, in the first instance, be made through the relevant Local Authority which, if supportive of the project, will forward the funding request to my Department for consideration and approval, if appropriate.
However, I note that neither my Department nor the relevant Local Authority have received any application regarding the proposal in question.
