414. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government the reason for the delay in announcing this year's funding allocation to each local authority under the housing strategy and, in view of the fact that a third of the year has passed and the housing lists are growing, if this information will now be provided.

Social housing targets and provisional funding allocations for the period 2015-2017 for all local authorities were announced on 1 April 2015. The targets involved are challenging but the provisional funding allocations provide the resources to support their achievement. On 16 April my Department wrote to each local authority confirming these targets in detail for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017. I look forward to the successful implementation of social housing delivery by all local authorities under the Social Housing Strategy2020.
