I propose to take Questions Nos. 375 to 377, inclusive, together.

The number of active tenancies relating to the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP), the Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) and the Long Term Leasing schemes, for the years 2016-2021, as at year end, is set out in the following table:

*Leasing data in the table above comprises Local Authority Long-term Leasing, Approved Housing Body Leasing and Enhanced Leasing.

Under the Government's Housing for All Plan, long term leasing will be phased out by 2025 and my Department is continuing to engage with local authorities in this regard. Under the Plan, the Government also plans to increase the supply of housing to an average of 33,000 homes per year over the next decade, including an average of 10,000 new build social homes. As new build supply of social housing ramps up, there will be reducing reliance on the HAP and RAS schemes.
