The arrangements through which the voluntary housing sector engages with the local government system will continue as heretofore. The Capital Assistance Scheme (CAS), which provides funding to Approved Housing Bodies of up to 100% of the approved cost of accommodation to meet the needs of persons with specific categories of housing need including older people, people with an intellectual, physical or mental health disability, the homeless, returning emigrants and victims of domestic violence, will continue to be administered by the local authorities. Further links between the sector and new structures to be developed under Putting People First - Action Programme for Effective Local Government, will be considered as these structures are put in place.
