The Special Housing Aid for the Elderly previously operated by the Health Service Executive is no longer operational. The scheme was replaced by the Housing Aid for Older People (HAOP) Scheme in August 2008. The new scheme is being administered by the Local Authorities.

Pending finalisation of the handover, a decision on all remaining applications from the original scheme will be made jointly by the HSE and Local Authorities. As this is a service matter it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply.
