Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 November 2017
700. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of homeless HAP tenancies created in the first six months of 2017; the number of these used to prevent homelessness; and the number used to support individuals and families to exit section 10 funded homeless accommodation. [50127/17]
View answerI am advised by the Dublin Region Homeless Executive that during the first six months of 2017 a total of 771 households entered Homeless HAP tenancies; of these, 519 were used to secure a tenancy prior to a homeless household entering emergency accommodation, and therefore are classified as preventative, with the remaining 252 therefore related to households exiting emergency accommodation.
