A person residing in the United Kingdom who wishes to return to Ireland, and who does not have a PPS number, is not precluded from applying for social housing support in Ireland. The placement of applicants on housing waiting lists is a matter for the housing authority concerned in accordance with its scheme of letting priorities. Such applicants are also advised as to the housing services provided by voluntary groups in the housing sector, including the Safe Home Programme.
