The funding provided to Monaghan County Council for the range of initiatives under my Department’s main Housing Programmes for the years 2007 to 2015 is set out in the table below. Expenditure relating to 2015 refers to the funding provided to the local authority up to the end of November and further payments are continuing to be made for this year. Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) commenced in Monaghan from 1 October 2014. Payments relating to the HAP scheme are made to a HAP shared services centre run by Limerick City and County Council who provide a transactional shared service hub for all local authorities operating HAP during the pilot phase. All HAP financial transactions, including the collection of differential rent from tenants and the payment of HAP rents directly to landlords, are being made by the transactional shared services hub.
