Housing Schemes
The Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) was introduced for people who are receiving Rent Supplement and who have a long term housing need that cannot be funded from their income. Applicants must have been in receipt of Rent Supplement for 18 months.
The scheme is run by Fingal County Council for both eligible tenants in private rented accommodation and on those on the Social Housing List, and to provide good quality rented accommodation and facilitate local authorities to provide longer-term housing for people who need it.
