The management and maintenance of local authority housing stock, including pre-letting repairs to vacant properties, the implementation of a planned maintenance programme and carrying out of responsive repairs, are matters for each individual local authority under Section 58 of the Housing Act 1966. Local authorities also have a legal obligation to ensure that all of their tenanted properties are compliant with the provisions of the Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations, 2019.

The 2024 Programme provided funding of €31 million to local authorities to support the refurbishment and re-letting of a minimum of 2,300 homes, and continue the transition from a reactive, voids approach to a Planned Maintenance approach. The table below details the allocation to all local authorities under the 2024 Planned Maintenance/Voids programme.
