My Department provides funding to local authorities for various social housing supports, including for adaptations and extensions to the social housing stock to meet the needs of local authority tenants with a disability or to address serious overcrowding. Funding provided by my Department meets 90% of the cost of the works, with each local authority providing the remaining 10%.

My Department is currently liaising with all local authorities in relation to requirements for 2015. The administration of this funding locally is a matter for each local authority, including decisions in relation to the projects to be implemented.
