There are a range of funding and delivery mechanisms available to local authorities to deliver social housing supports in partnership with Approved Housing Bodies, i.e. through the Capital Assistance Scheme, the Capital Loans and Subsidy Scheme, the Communal Facilities Scheme, the Approved Housing Body Mortgage to Rent Scheme, the Capital Advance Leasing Facility (CALF) and the Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme. The funding under these programmes is provided directly to local authorities, who in turn, advance the funding to approved housing bodies, as appropriate. It should be noted that CALF is a loan that is fully repayable with interest by the approved housing body.
The funding provided by my Department to local authorities in respect of the housing programmes listed above for the periods requested is set out in the following table. In order to match my Department's monthly accounting record of expenditure, the data provided is to the end of November for each year and includes amounts which were self-funded by certain local authorities from surplus Local Property Tax receipts.
