My Department provides funding to Approved Housing Bodies, via the Capital Assistance Scheme, towards the provision of social housing for priority groups including the elderly. Applications to deliver new social housing under the Scheme are made to the local authorities, in the first place.  As with all social housing projects, it is a matter for the local authorities to prioritise eligible projects on the basis of how they meet the housing needs of their areas.
