We see HAP as meeting the housing need of those people because they are able to stay in that accommodation and continue to work or increase their hours of work. If the lease is discontinued for whatever reason, the person can move to another accommodation and still avail of HAP support. Approximately 1,500 people exited HAP via the transfer list into the permanent stock of social housing, while up to 2,000 people exited HAP because they no longer required it due to a change in their circumstances, which is very welcome. More than 40,000 HAP tenancies have been created.
