Update on Homelessness: Discussion

I have a specific question about the tenant in situ scheme. We pioneered and started it in Dublin city and got it rolled out nationally. From Dublin Town's experience, how is it working? I refer to the people it represents rather than its members. The representatives from ALONE highlighted two primary reasons that people are becoming homeless and they are the same as others have outlined. There are the increases in rent and, obviously, the HAP is there for those who qualify, and evictions due to landlords selling are also a big driver of homelessness. The tenant in situ scheme is there specifically to address that. Is it working well?
