QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor T. Costello

To ask the Chief Executive how many people on the housing list are availing of HAP / Homeless Hap/ RAS

REPLY:

All HAP/Homeless HAP are included on the HAP transfer list with access to Choice Based Letting.  There are currently 2,996 active HAP tenancies and an additional 1,788 active Homeless HAP tenancies in South Dublin.

Separately, there are 1,078 RAS tenants in the County, of whom 78 opted to remain on the RAS Fixed Transfer List under the Council's Allocation Scheme in 2011 and are eligible to apply for accommodation through Choice Based Letting.  All other RAS tenants were deemed to have their housing need met and were no longer included on the housing list from then but are eligible to apply for a transfer to alternative accommodation on medical, overcrowding, rightsizing or other priority grounds only.
