If I am right, there are four elements to State support for social housing applicants or people in need of social housing in the private rented sector. They include the housing assistance payment, HAP, for rental accommodation and the social housing current expenditure programme which includes long-term leasing and rent supplement, as the scheme is known. The HAP for rental accommodation and long-term leasing come under the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, while rent supplement comes under the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection. I think I am right on that much. What is the current spend? What was the spend in 2017 for each of the four categories? How many tenants or families come within each of the four categories? Is that information available?
