Housing authorities make available a broad range of social housing supports and options to those in need of housing. In particular the Rental Accommodation Scheme and the Social Housing Leasing Initiative provide access to a wider range of social housing than has traditionally been available under the Social Housing Investment Programme. These new supply options will make it easier for housing authorities to meet the needs of single persons on their waiting lists.
