Budget 2024 provides for continued record investment in Housing with €4.1bn in Exchequer funding for the delivery of housing programmes, comprising Capital funding of €2.6bn and Current funding of €1.5bn. The Capital provision of €2.6bn will be supplemented by Land Development Agency (LDA) investment and Housing Finance Agency (HFA) lending, resulting in an overall capital provision of over €5bn in 2024.
Detailed information in respect of the Housing elements of Budget 2024 are set out in the 2024 Expenditure Measures Report, which is available at the following link:
gov.ie - Budget 2024: Expenditure Reports (www.gov.ie)
The 2024 Revised Estimates Volume for the Public Service (REV) will be published in mid-December and will set out the final detail on the 2024 allocations for the Housing programmes.
Notes:
*In respect of HAP, the Homeless HAP Place Finder Service was established in January 2018 and it was made available to each of the 31 local authorities. Initially, my Department recouped these additional HAP Place Finder financial supports (deposits and advance rents) to each individual local authority, including to Dublin City Council in 2018 and 2019. However, Limerick City and County Council now provides a highly effective HAP transactional shared service on behalf of all local authorities. This HAP Shared Services Centre (SSC) manages all HAP-related rental transactions for the tenant, local authority and landlord. Accordingly, my Department stopped recouping Dublin City Council in respect of HAP Place Finder payments from 2020 and instead recoups these payments via the HAP SSC. Further information in relation to HAP expenditure is available on my Department’s website at the following link:
gov.ie - Overall social and affordable housing provision (www.gov.ie)
** The administration of homeless services is organised across nine administrative regions, with one local authority in each of the regions acting as “the lead authority". The role of the lead authority for each region includes the disbursement of Exchequer funding across the region. The lead authorities for the regions are Dublin City, Kildare, Limerick, Louth, Sligo, Waterford, Westmeath, Cork City and Galway City. Financial reports from each of the nine homeless regions are published on my Department's website at the following link:
