733 Part V dwellings delivered in 2019 were supported under the Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme (SHCEP).  719 of these dwellings were Part V's delivered under the Capital Advance Leasing Facility (CALF) and are owned by the relevant Approved Housing Body. The remaining 14 dwellings were delivered under a Part V Lease and will revert to the private owner at the end of the lease term. The relevant local authority may seek to renew the lease or acquire the property at the end of the lease term.
