Department consults on funding challenges

The Department for Communities has launched a public consultation on funding proposals as part of its Budget Settlement for 2023-24 financial year.

It follows the announcement by the Secretary of State on the 2023-24 budget allocations.

The consultation can be located on the DfC website.  

The Department welcomes comment on any aspects of the document. Interested parties are encouraged to make responses by 7 June 2023, which will used to inform the Department’s allocation of 2023-24 funds. Any further consultation responses received between 7 June 2023 to 02 August 2023 will be used to inform further mitigation measures and reallocation of any additional funding available during 2023-24.
