Funding for sheltered housing is a matter for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. In the 2008 Budget the Health Services Executive (HSE) received an allocation of €1.1 million to fund a best practice initiative to support sheltered housing. No additional funding was allocated in 2009. As this is a service matter it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
