Mr. Enda McGuane:

I thank the Senator for the question. In terms of our provision of affordable rental properties, we are bound by the Affordable Housing Act, which ensures there is an allocation process that is based on lottery. Therefore, we can neither positively nor negatively discriminate on people and allocation of houses. Having said that, as we built universal design into our apartment standards and apartment topographies, instances have arisen where tenants have specific needs. We have worked with the local authority in that regard to access supports and services and convert units that are appropriate for that specific service user. The allocation process does not allow a pre-approach; it can only be when the tenant is awarded a tenancy.
