Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities whether his Department plans to seek funding for the Provider Innovation Fund under the Supporting People programme in (i) 2025-26; and (ii) in bids for the upcoming multi-year budget.

Answer:

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive continues to bid for Provider Innovation Funding, and I will continue to support these bids. However, due to the constrained budget the bids for 2025-26 have been unsuccessful.
