Tenures can he broken with the loopholes, refurbishment, family member moving in, being sold on. People who are eligible for social housing can avail of HAP. What's What's tenure on social housing?
@ICHHDUBLIN Agreed. You don’t have the right to buy the house you’re renting at over 40% discount to its value. You do have all the rights of someone renting in the private rental market, differential/subsidised rent and at least 6 yrs tenure.
And why is housing supply not where it needs to be? Because successive fine gael governments pretty much stopped any public housing built by the state. With HAP costing approx €1bn a year is it any wonder we became a magnet for REIT's and Build to Rent developers??
@ICHHDUBLIN It’s not perfect, but it does house thousands of people. If the HAP were scrapped, what would happen in the short term to those who cannot get housing ? While housing supply is not yet where it needs to be, HAP is necessary
HAP was necessary due to the lack of the state building social and affordable housing over the last 10 years. That's the root cause of the problem
HAP doesn't have the security of tenure needed and we have seen multiple families go from homeless to HAP to homeless again
@killianwoods @ICHHDUBLIN It has also helped many thousands of vulnerable people get accommodation during a crisis. 2700 tenancies in Fingal alone. Nearly 10,000 people. What would have happened to them if the HAP supports were not there ?
The state’s Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) scheme, which supplements the rents of social tenants, has directly “steepened” the cost of renting in Ireland, according to a new analysis by KPMG
