The Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) scheme continues to be rolled out across the country on a phased basis and is now operational in 19 local authority areas. A detailed breakdown of the Quarter 1 2016 data is currently being prepared, including the number of households transferring from the Rent Supplement scheme in this period. This detailed breakdown will be published on my Department’s website,, shortly.
