The HAP Shared Services Centre has developed a new online Application Portal for people who are eligible for Social Housing and wish to apply for the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP).

Kerry County Council is delighted to launch the new online application process for HAP. Those who have already applied do not have to apply again. Online applications are only necessary for new applicants or existing tenants who are moving to a new HAP property. The new online portal will make the application process more efficient and easier for all. 

The online portal is live from Friday, 1^st March for applicants to Kerry County Council. This will mean that any person who is entitled to Social Housing and wants to apply for HAP will be able to do so online. Your landlord will also submit their application online.

An online application ensures that all necessary information is submitted at the time of the application including all necessary documentation. As a result, applications and documents will be dealt with in a timely and efficient manner.
