This is a decrease of 11 percent, or 85 properties, from the 757 homes identified in the previous survey last December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the second time since the publication of this report, there were no properties available within a standard HAP rate across the four household types included in the survey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust 29 properties were found within the discretionary HAP rate, which is set at 50 percent for Dublin and 35 percent outside the capital. This is the lowest number of HAP properties ever recorded in the series of surveys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also signifies the lowest proportion of properties within HAP rates \u2013 at 4.3 percent, compared to 10.8 percent in March 2022.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Successive governments&#8217; over-reliance on HAP has led to tens of thousands of people competing in a dwindling private rental market when they should be in social housing. This gives no security to those relying on HAP and drives up rents for everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People who qualify for HAP and cannot find a place to live require more than occasional increases to the payment. They need social homes to be delivered at a pace that reflects the scale of the housing disaster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis latest report from the Simon Communities of Ireland provides a bleak assessment of our shrinking rental market and makes the Government\u2019s callous decision to end the eviction ban all the more egregious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>March 30, 2023<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Report paints a particularly bleak picture for households reliant on the Housing Assistance Payment\u00a0 The latest \u2018Locked Out of the Market\u2019 report from the Simon Communities of Ireland further highlights why the Government needs to extend the eviction ban, according to Social Democrats TD Cian O\u2019Callaghan.
