In July this year, I announced an investment of over €150 million for new projects under the Capital Assistance Scheme, to support the construction and acquisition of over 1,000 new units of accommodation. I expect a number of the new units being acquired to be delivered this year, which will increase the number of units and funding provided over the course of the full year. Full details of that announcement are available on my Department’s website at the following link: .
