Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Discussion
11:00 am
Mr. David Kelly:
People who are in receipt of HAP are deemed to have their social housing needs met, so they are not on the main housing list. Many people who are in receipt of HAP may go onto a transfer list. They may have a preference to transfer to other forms of social housing, but they are not included on the main list because they are deemed to have their social housing need met.
