Written answers

Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Housing for All commits the Government to continue to provide capital funding for the further development of housing for the specific vulnerable cohorts supported under the Capital Assistance Scheme (CAS), in alignment with support services provided through State agencies and NGOs. The latter has included coordination on the ground with the HSE, Tusla and others.

Under Housing for All, CAS will continue to support the development of new refuges for victims of Domestic, Sexual and Gender Based Violence. Available funding under CAS in 2021 is €96 million to support the range of priority housing delivery it targets via the Approved Housing Bodies.
