More than 500 tenancies have been achieved to date in 2017. They are people presented new to being homeless and were found accommodation through the HAP scheme and other schemes.

With regard to the family hubs, I have been in them and I ask the Deputy to go and have a look at some of them. I visited the Respond! hub and the Mater Dei facility, which will be ready in June. They are very good facilities for families. If a new family presents as being homeless and if we cannot get them a house through all the various schemes and through the HAP, the family hubs will be used for them as well.
