The latest Locked Out of The Market Report had the findings.
Two Midlands towns currently have no properties available to rent under the Housing Assistant Payment Scheme.
The latest Locked Out of The Market Report found when the conditions of the scheme were applied, Athlone and Portlaoise had no eligible properties available.
The Simon Community's report examines both single people and families using the HAP scheme to access housing in the private rental market.
When the limits of the scheme were not applied, Portlaoise only had two properties available with Athlone seeing a reduction in the number of properties available to rent.
Ber Grogan, Executive Director of the Simon Communities in Ireland says it should serve as a wake up call to the Government:
