Funding provided by my Department to each local authority for the delivery of housing programmes in each of the years 2019 to 2022 is set out in the tables attached.
Local Authority Housing Funding 2019-2022
The detailed breakdown of 2023 housing expenditure, by local authority and delivery stream, is being finalised within my Department and will be available in the coming weeks. However, in respect of Waterford City and County Council, the provisional 2023 funding for the delivery of housing programmes amounts to €79m.
It should be noted that the data in the attached tables reflects the housing funding provided directly to local authorities only. In addition to the funds channelled to local authorities, my Department also provides funding to other bodies, for example, the Housing Agency, for the management and operation of a broad range of housing programmes, including for the delivery of social and affordable homes.
Budget 2024 provided for continued record investment in Housing with €4.25bn in Exchequer funding for the delivery of housing programmes, comprising capital funding of €2.7bn and current funding of €1.5bn. The Capital provision of €2.7bn 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: gov.ie - Budget 2024: Expenditure Reports (www.gov.ie) www.gov.ie/en/publication/df18e-budget-2024-expenditure-reports/ and in the 2024 Revised Estimates Volume: www.gov.ie/en/collection/e20037-revised-estimates/#2024.
