The Mixed Tenure Section within my Department acts as a single point of contact for local authorities for funding submissions for mixed tenure projects seeking funding for affordable housing under the Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) and social housing under the Social Housing Investment Programme (SHIP).
The section seeks to assist local authorities in navigating AHF and SHIP funding submissions while also retaining the approval within the relevant unit within my Department e.g. Social Housing Delivery or Affordable Housing.
Funding applications for a mixed tenure project under each scheme may not always be submitted at the same time by a local authority. Where these are submitted simultaneously, the Mixed Tenure Section plays a coordination role in ensuring the approval issued by the respective unit is aligned; and where possible, combined funding approval letters are issued.
With respect to AHB mixed tenure projects using the Capital Advance Leasing Facility (CALF) and Cost Rental Equity Loan (CREL) funding schemes the Housing Agency provide support to the Department to advance such approvals.
