Capital funding is available through my Department's Capital Loan and Subsidy Scheme to approved voluntary and co-operative housing bodies to provide accommodation to meet the housing needs of low income families and other groups with special housing needs. My Department's involvement with the scheme relates primarily to the provision of funds and ensuring that the requirements of the Capital Works Management Framework are fully implemented. The administration of the scheme, the appraisal of projects and the certification and payment of capital grants to the approved bodies is the responsibility of the appropriate local authority.

The information requested in relation to the capital funding approved in respect of projects advanced by the National Association of Building Co-operatives is set out in the following table:

My Department also provides grant assistance towards the administrative and general expenses of certain not-for-profit bodies, including the National Association of Building Co-operatives, who conduct research and provide information, advice or training in relation to housing. This funding, set out in the table below, is verified and accounted for through the submission of audited accounts and an audited statement confirming how funding was spent.
