Housing List Waiting Time

Evan La Crey

Just wondering how long is the current average waiting time for:
1. People on the housing waiting list
2. People on on the HAP transfer list waiting for a permanent house

Question 3:
Is there anyone else here who is on the HAP transfer list and waiting for a permanent house payment in the Dun Laoghaire area? Has there been any houses advertised on the Choice Based Letting website in the past 6 months, offered to people on the HAP transfer list? I’m wondering if there is something wrong with our account.

I know it will probably be years before we actually get offered a house. My issue is that we’ve been on the HAP transfer list now for several months and I haven’t seen a single property advertised on the CBL website.

We were accepted into the general housing list a year and a half ago. Back then there was about one property being advertised per month: still extremely low rate of properties being available.

But now on the HAP transfer list, not a single property advertised in several months. At this rate, we’ll never be offered a house.

Our situation is a married couple with one child.

Hi, I’m also looking for some information on this. Did you have any luck?
