Our Chief Executive @SeamusLeheny was interviewed for @bbcnewsline last Friday 29th May regarding the growing waiting list for social housing 📺⤵️

[BBC Newsline @bbcnewsline]

The number of households waiting on a list for a social home has now passed 50,000. That number means there are tens of thousands of families living in unsettled accommodation and waiting for the Housing Executive to fulfil it's legal duty to provide a home for them.

🏘️ Homes alone do not build communities.

New research launched at Stormont shows homes must be planned with services, infrastructure and community support so neighbourhoods across Northern Ireland can thrive. #SustainableCommunities

Fascinating look back to 50 years ago when we were targeting the building of 8,000 social homes per year!
The point re integrated housing shows how things have improved & progressed today, but we still lots more to do

[Seamus Leheny @SeamusLeheny]

We're at a point that most people on the housing waiting list can only dream of securing a social home.
More afforable rental and ownership options is one way to tackle the list from one end of it
