I propose to take Questions Nos. 349 and 350 together.

The 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. Dwellings under the scheme come from a number of different sources including private owners, Part V and Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs).

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.

Details of the number of units delivered and the funding of the long term leasing scheme from 2020 to 2023 by local authority can be found on my Department's website at the following links:
