Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Homelessness Issues: Discussion
Mr. Wayne Stanley:
That would be taken on a local authority by local authority basis. If somebody were to present to Ms Hayes and if an increase, in the form of a move to homeless HAP, would save the tenancy, we can be fairly sure that would happen. Often, however, we are talking about cases where it is beyond the top-up. It is not that there is unwillingness on the part of the local authority. It is purely that our private rental market is unsustainably expensive.
