While my Department provides funding to support capital improvements to local authority housing, including through the Voids Programme, the routine management and maintenance of local authority housing stock, including maintenance programmes and carrying out of responsive repairs and pre-letting repairs, is a matter for each individual local authority under section 58 of the Housing Act 1966 and is not directly funded by my Department.
