The Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) and Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) continue to be effective and secure forms of social housing support, and remain a significant part of the suite of social housing options currently available to those who are assessed as being in need of housing support.
While the Department does not hold information on the number of HAP or RAS tenancies that moved directly into social housing property, data is available in relation to the number of tenancies that moved from those schemes to other forms of social housing support.
The following table details the number of HAP tenancies that transferred to other forms of social housing, by local authority in the period 2016 - 2020:
