Mr. Graham Doyle:
That is true. There are 59,000 HAP tenancies and 16,500 RAS tenancies. Those are the tenancies and there are more people under those roofs. That is a lot of people to try to accommodate under those schemes. I am not nit-picking but in some cases there is support, particularly in the HAP placefinder service, for people at risk of homelessness but in most cases it is as the Deputy says.
