Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 July 2023
463. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of persons in receipt of the housing assistance payment that transferred to rental accommodation scheme and vice versa for each county, per annum, since 2016, in tabular form [35025/23]
View answerThe Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) and Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) are 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. Both schemes are separate from each other and are reported on in different ways.
The following table details the number of RAS tenancies that transferred to HAP by local authority in the period 2019 - 2022. My Department does not hold this information for transfers prior to 2019.
