Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department provides funding to local authorities for various social housing supports, including for adaptations and extensions to the social housing stock to meet the needs of local authority tenants with a disability or to address serious overcrowding. Funding provided by my Department meets 90% of the cost of the works, with each local authority providing the remaining 10%.
My Department is currently liaising with all local authorities in relation to requirements for 2015. The administration of this funding locally is a matter for each local authority, including decisions in relation to the projects to be implemented and the prioritisation of projects.
