There's a warning that more low-income households in Sligo will face mounting financial pressure if HAP rates are not increased. 

According to latest Department of Housing homeless figures for July, Sligo has 110 adults who are homeless. 

Concerns are growing that current HAP limits are failing to keep pace with rents in Sligo.

Focus Ireland is today launching a new nationwide social media campaign highlighting the financial pressures facing thousands of renters who rely on HAP. 

Focus Ireland says the campaign comes as renters across Sligo continue to face some of the highest housing costs in the country, with many households forced to make substantial monthly HAP top-up payments in order to remain in their homes.
