I propose to take Questions Nos. 193 and 194 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).

Details of the money spent on the Social Housing Leasing Programme from 2018 up to the end of 2022, broken down by local authority, can be found on my Department's website at the following link:

The social housing leasing scheme includes properties leased by AHBs directly, leased by local authorities from private owners under long term and short term agreements, Enhanced leasing, Mortgage to Rent, NARPS, Part V Leasing, the Repair and Leasing Scheme and Unsold Affordables.
