Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 26 January 2023
171. Deputy Mark Ward asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the housing budget allocated per local authority; the housing budget not spent by local authorities in each of the years 2017 to 2022 and to date in 2023, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3425/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department does not provide specific allocations to local authorities, rather funding for housing programmes is made to the local authorities as programmes and projects advance and relevant claims fall due for payment.
Funding provided by my Department to each Local Authority for Housing programmes in each of the years 2017 to 2021 is set out in the table below. The funding details for 2022 by local authority level are currently been finalised within my Department. Funding details for January 2023 will be collated at the end of the month.

- *Limerick City and County Council provides a highly effective HAP transactional shared service on behalf of all local authorities. This HAP Shared Services Centre (SSC) manages all HAP related rental transactions for the tenant, local authority and landlord. The Department does not recoup individual local authorities in respect of HAP rental payments in their administrative areas but rather recoups all landlord costs via the HAP SSC.
The administration of homeless services is organised across nine administrative regions, with one local authority in each of the regions acting as ‘lead authority’. The role of the lead authority for each region includes the disbursement of exchequer funding across the region. The lead authorities for the regions are Dublin City, Kildare, Limerick, Louth, Sligo, Waterford, Westmeath, Cork City and Galway City.
