Hey tutti. Attualmente si offre volontario con una persona che dorme ruvida. Il consiglio di contea offrirà loro solo HAP avanzato. È qui che possono offrire il 35% al di sopra dei limiti di noleggio HAP, l’affitto e il deposito del primo mese.
Tuttavia, i limiti di noleggio HAP sono uno scherzo. Non so che nessuno paghi anche vicino a questo affitto è molto più costoso di questi limiti.
Prendi ad esempio Laois. Una ricerca su DAFT mostra che il prezzo più economico per una stanza in una casa condivisa a Laois è di 440 € al mese, ben al di sopra del limite di HAP di 240 € al mese o persino l’HAP avanzato di 324 €. E le autorità locali semplicemente non lo approverà se è al di sopra di questi limiti. Non sta nemmeno prendendo in considerazione il fatto che la maggior parte dei proprietari non accetta l’HAP, anche se questo è illegale.
È necessaria una grave riforma. Ma non ho assolutamente fiducia nel governo

It’s almost like solving the problem isn’t really the overall goal, isn’t it?
That’s fairly grim reading.
It’s seriously such a grim situation. HAP has never worked, not since its inception. I was entitled to HAP but never even got it because I couldn’t find anywhere that was even close to within HAP limits, and even if you somehow find a way to pay the difference, no landlord is interested in renting to you as soon as they hear those 3 letters.
But of course, with landlords being overrepresented in our government they only know that too well and are happy with the status quo. Kick them out lads, kick them fecking out.
Now I would vote to kick them out myself, but they pushed me off to the North so I don’t get a say in it anymore.
I was on RAS back 17 years ago when I had my first kid. It was challenging but I found somewhere with a sound landlord for the right amount. €750pm. The same apartments (2bed, nothing special) are €2000pm now and the maximum HAP for the same scenario is €850. What are people supposed to do?
It’s a beautiful day, the beaches are open and everyone’s having a wonderful time!
Jobseeker’s allowance is about €1057/month.
HAP isn’t working, but it can’t be stopped unless/until the councils have enough capacity to house all the HAP renters.
I know there are issues with landlords not wanting to take HAP, but if homeless person takes that cheapest room, they will only be paying €29 a week.
If they take a more expensive room, say €500 a month, they would be paying €40 a week.
Job seekers allowance is €244 a week, giving them €204 a week to live on in the more expensive room.
Is that not a better scenario than sleeping on the streets?
Last time I checked there were ZERO HAP properties in Co.Limerick, yes, ZERO. The council can grant you hap all they want but you’ll never find a landlord willing to accept it.
HAP is a disastrous programme, you can’t outsource a public service to a private market, especially not one as short in supply like housing. Nationalise housing, now.
Hi all. I’m trying to do some research on buying a house in Ireland/ the sale agreed process and fixing it. Would really appreciate if people had time to help complete the survey below

It’s only broken if it’s purpose was never to increase rent/house prices.
What happens if you just get rid of Hap?
Will it have any real impact on prices?
