My Department publishes comprehensive programme-level statistics on social housing delivery activity in all local authority areas on the statistics page of its website. The data requested in relation to funding provided by the State for HAP tenancies in 2023 broken down by local authority area, can be found on my Department’s website at this link:
www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/#housing-assistance-payment.
This funding represents the portion paid by my Department after receipt of the differential rent which is paid by the tenant to the local authority. It does not include administration costs related to the Scheme. The monthly gross average cost per HAP tenancy at the end of Q4 2023 was €972. The monthly average cost per HAP tenancy funded by the Exchequer i.e. net of average differential rent, at the end of Q4 2023 was €754.
The following table sets out the average HAP monthly Landlord Payment and the average monthly cost funded by the exchequer for 2023 by local authority.
