We have our set-out amount if you like, which varies across the country, as to how much HAP we will pay but we are also conscious of trying to get people out of homelessness. We use homeless HAP, which has a higher allocation and flexibility with local authorities, as well. The reality is that we know rents are going up and that is why we are taking measures elsewhere to try to increase supply and get rents down.
