The Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) is a form of social housing support available for people who have a long-term housing need. Any household assessed as eligible for social housing is immediately eligible for HAP. Eligible households can source their own accommodation in the private rental sector which should be within the HAP rent limits provided to them by the local authority.
The latest data available covers the period up to end Q4 2023. The table below provides a breakdown of the total number of active HAP tenancies at the end of Q4 2023 registered to Cork County Council, broken down by local area.
