The following table sets out the amount of funding provided to local authorities and approved housing bodies for the construction and acquisition of houses and apartments under the Local Authority Housing Programme and the Capital Assistance Scheme since 2004.Information covering 2000 to 2003 predates my Department’s current financial management system and is therefore not readily available. These are the main programmes implemented by my Department for the capital funding of new social housing construction and acquisition.

These programmes include the Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme, the Rental Accommodation Scheme, Housing Assistance Payment and the Capital Advance Leasing Facility.
