Ms ?ine Stapleton:

I will clarify Government policy. Under Housing for All, the policy intention is to phase out long-term leasing and reduce targets over the period out to 2025. As an emergency responsive measure to homelessness, the Government agreed this targeted leasing initiative as a once-off measure. The initiative is focused on exits from homelessness and the type of units that will align with the kind of need outlined by Ms Hayes and Ms Tobin. It is a specific measure targeted at the current policy objective of exits from homelessness.
