Local authorities do not provide funding to or invest in the Housing Finance Agency. The Agency advances funds to local authorities to be used by them for any purpose authorised under the Housing Acts and it finances its operations by borrowing or raising funds for these purposes. The HFA also utilises its guaranteed notes programme to provide local authorities with a facility for surplus cash offering competitive interest rates.
