The Capital Loan and Subsidy Scheme commenced in 1991 to provide mortgage finance to approved housing bodies by way of loans from the Housing Finance Agency , to meet the cost of social rented accommodation for low-income families.

From the scheme’s commencement to end-2013, the housing bodies have provided over 10,000 units of accommodation with loans approved to the value of over €1.5 billion from the Housing Finance Agency. A breakdown of these approvals and the number of units per local authority is set out in the table. The information requested for each year is being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
