Views on the Northern Ireland Housing Supply Strategy
Response to the call for evidence by The Department for Communities
The Department for Communities (DfC) held a consultation based on the development of a new Housing Supply Strategy. This is the first formal stage of public engagement.
The policy objectives of the Strategy are to:
- Increase housing supply and affordable options across all tenures to meet current and future demand.
- Reduce housing stress and homelessness and improve housing solutions for the most vulnerable.
- Improve housing quality.
- Ensure the provision of housing options that contribute to the building and maintaining of thriving, inclusive communities and places.
- Support the transition to carbon neutrality by reducing whole-life carbon emissions from both new homes and existing homes.
