The information requested is not available in my Department. By virtue of section 19 of the Housing Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2009, which was commenced in 2011, tenants transferring from Rent Supplement to the Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) are formally deemed to be in receipt of social housing support and as a consequence of having their needs met, cannot remain on the general housing waiting list. However, it was recognised that RAS tenants who were allocated RAS accommodation prior to 1st April 2011 have expectations that they would remain on the main housing waiting list and be eligible for other forms of social housing support. This includes local authority owned stock and housing provided by Approved Housing Bodies. The Department recommended to local authorities that these existing RAS tenants be given the opportunity to apply to go on a transfer list with no less favourable terms than if they had remained on the main housing waiting list.
