My Department does not fund any service directly but provides funding to housing authorities towards the operational costs of homeless accommodation and related services under Section 10 of the Housing Act 1988. Housing authorities provide additional funding from their own resources. The Section 10 funding provided by my Department to housing authorities on a regional basis for the years 2010 to 201 2 is set out in the table. Details of the allocations to the 9 regions for 2013 are also provided.
