There are a range of funding and delivery mechanisms available to local authorities to deliver social housing supports in partnership with Approved Housing Bodies, i.e. through the Capital Assistance Scheme, the Capital Loans and Subsidy Scheme, the Communal Facilities Scheme, the Approved Housing Body Mortgage to Rent Scheme, the Capital Advance Leasing Facility and the Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme. The funding under these programmes is provided directly to local authorities, who in turn, advance the funding to Approved Housing Bodies, as appropriate.

The funding provided by my Department since 2007 to local authorities in respect of the housing programmes listed above is set out in the following table. The data for 2015 and 2016 includes amounts which were self-funded by certain local authorities from surplus Local Property Tax receipts.
