To date my Department has approved over 1,200 units for use under the Social Housing Leasing Initiative. Of these, 842 have been issued with funding approval and a further 367 units have been given provisional approval for leasing. Details of the housing authority areas, where funding approval has been issued, are set out in the table.

Details in relation to the unit size, type and duration of the lease agreements will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
