Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 March 2023
76. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the amount of voted current funding that has been allocated for 2023, and estimated for subsequent years respectively, for payment and availability arrangements associated with the output targets of subhead A.11. [10450/23]
View answerPayment and Availability Agreements (P&As) are funded under the Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme (SHCEP), which funds the ongoing current costs of homes delivered by Approved Housing Bodies through build and acquisition, in addition to homes delivered through the various leasing programmes. A specific budgetary allocation is not made on a scheme by scheme basis; rather, in order to ensure that the maximum output can be achieved, funding is available on the basis of performance and capacity to deliver new social homes using these schemes.
The total available allocation for SHCEP in 2023 is €443m (comprising REV €367m and LPT €76m). The allocations for SHCEP from 2024 onwards will form part of the annual Estimates processes.
