Under the Capital Assistance Scheme, a ‘Call for Proposals’ was issued in 2014 covering the period 2014- 2016. Projects submitted under this ‘Call’ are currently progressing through the various stages of design and development. However, given the ambition set out in the Social Housing Strategy 2020, I propose to issue a further ‘Call for Proposals’ under the Capital Assistance Scheme shortly and I look forward to a strong response from local authorities and approved housing bodies.
