Who gets assessed?
Every year, Laois County Council reviews social housing applications from anyone who hasn't been checked in the last 15 months.
If you applied for social housing and are not getting HAP, RAS, or are not on the transfer list, you will be told your application is being checked again.
If requested to do so you must send the information listed in the table to Laois County Council. If you don't, you might be taken off the housing list and lose your place.
