Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the amount of unspent Supporting People funding from 2024-25 that has been recouped in the 2025-26 financial year, broken down by (a) thematic area; (b) primary client group; and (c) type of service.

Answer:

This issue is an operational matter for Northern Ireland Housing Executive.

I have sought the requested information from the Chief Executive, who has advised me as follows:

“Recoupments from 2024/25 have not yet occurred in the 2025/26 year. The Supporting People team are in the process of managing 2024/25 provider financial returns and recoupments of unspent Supporting People grant funding will be considered following this process.”
