Answer
My Department will make decisions regarding each application for funding for Neighbourhood Renewal projects thorough an assessment and appraisal processes in line with the Northern Ireland Guide to Expenditure Appraisal and Evaluation and Managing Public Money NI. This process includes an assessment of how projects effectively demonstrate they meet the objectives of the Neighbourhood Renewal programme. Continued support for projects will only be made following the successful outcome of this assessment and appraisal process.
My Department presently has no plans to provide alternative support to projects that no longer receive funding following this process.
