The figures provided in reply to Parliamentary Question no. 656 of 20 March 2024 account for all properties secured under Leasing that are supported under the Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme (SHCEP). Of the total figure of 12,398 properties supported by SHCEP at the end of Q3 2023, 3,911 properties are secured under payment and availability agreements.

SHCEP, in addition to Leasing costs, supports the ongoing current costs of AHB Build and Acquisition secured under the Current Advance Leasing Facility (CALF).
