Funding the delivery of social housing has changed radically in the last couple of years. The traditional funding model was replaced with:
 

• A government loan called the Capital Advance Leasing Facility (CALF) that covers a maximum of 30% of the total funding required.
• A loan from a financial institution (debt finance) that covers the balance of the funding required.

(Clúid may also use its own funds in some circumstances.)

Clúid is responsible and takes on the risk of ensuring the combination of debt finance and CALF (and the availability payment) adequately covers the funding of the property, and that capacity to manage and maintain the property and its environs can be met.

In April 2012, Clúid launched a report which highlights key measures needed to fund successfully the provision of social housing. The report can be viewed or downloaded here.
