There will be existing tenancies and new tenancies as well. People should be careful on this. If the State is paying one's rent, one's housing need is being met. That is what is happening with HAP. People are successful in HAP. I have provided reports on HAP that set out the number of exits out of HAP and the different reasons tenancies are not working out. HAP has a flexibility. People are working and have good relationships with their landlords. HAP works for many of them. I disagree with the Deputy that the great supports provided by the taxpayer in the HAP area are not meeting people's social housing needs.
