Amharc ar fhreagraThe Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme (SHCEP) supports the delivery of social housing by providing financial support to local authorities for the leasing of houses and apartments.
Long term lease arrangements can be entered into by either local authorities or approved housing bodies (AHBs) for periods of between 10 and 25 years.
The total number of social homes delivered under long term leasing schemes from 2018 to the end of Q1 2022 was 3,814. A breakdown by local authority leasing and approved housing body (AHB) leasing by year can be found in Table 1 below:
