It is not possible at present to break these figures down into Local Electoral Area, however this will be feasible following the introduction of the new Integrated Housing System and will be provided going forward.
Numbers on the Social Housing list and HAP transfer list are calculated at a point in time, as requested. The numbers will fluctuate depending on allocations completing, new applications received, hap tenancies breaking down, etc.
The data below, which lists the number of housing applications received and HAP tenancies completed on a month by month basis, will give an indication of the numbers presenting/processed.
