The Mortgage Allowance scheme provides for an allowance of up to €11,450 payable over a 5 year period to tenants or tenant purchasers of local authority housing, to assist them to purchase or have a private house built with a mortgage. New applications are still being accepted by local authorities under the scheme.

The amount spent on the scheme, and the number of housing units supported, are as follows:
