Written answers
Under Housing for All my Department is undertaking a review of the Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS), which will consider its role in the private market, taking account of the impact of the Housing Assistance Payment scheme (HAP) and Approved Housing Body (AHB) participation.
A consultation process with all local authorities has been completed. As part of this process, my Department undertook a series of meetings with local authorities to discuss their submissions and these meetings have now concluded. A separate public consultation phase has also been concluded. The information received from both of these consultation processes will inform the final report and its recommendations. Upon receipt of the final report, which is currently undergoing a final period of internal consultation within my Department, I will give due consideration to its contents and recommendations.
