View answerThe 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. Dwellings under the scheme come from a number of different sources including private owners, Part V and Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs).
Details of state expenditure on Long Term Leasing from 2015 up to the end of Q1 2023, can be found on my Department's website at the following links:

The Long Term Leasing scheme includes properties leased by AHBs directly, leased by local authorities from private owners, Enhanced leasing, and Part V Leasing.
Data for Q2 2023 is currently being compiled and will be available in the coming weeks.
