Social Housing is delivered through a range of local authority and Approved Housing Body (AHB) delivery programmes. Capital expenditure on the delivery of new social homes is also supported by current funding provided through the Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme (SHCEP).
In respect of AHB social housing delivery, my Department does not fund AHBs directly, but rather provides the funding to the local authorities, who, in turn, channel the funds to the AHBs as appropriate. For information, the capital funding provided in 2022 to local authorities under the two main AHB social housing delivery programmes, i.e. the Capital Advance Leasing Facility (CALF) and the Capital Assistance Scheme (CAS), amounted to €404 million.
In respect of Affordable Housing delivery, Housing for All provides for a number of significant affordability measures, supported by an investment package of direct exchequer funding, investment through the Land Development Agency (LDA) and lending by the Housing Finance Agency (HFA).
