Some €35 million is being set aside for a programme of works under my Department’s Capital Assistance Scheme (CAS) which provides funding to Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) of up to 100% of the approved costs of accommodation for people with specific categories of housing need, including older persons, persons with a disability, homeless persons and victims of domestic violence.
The proposals received from local authorities for inclusion in the programme of works to be advanced under the CAS over the 2014-2015 period are under consideration in my Department at present. I intend to announce details of the projects to be advanced very shortly.
