Answer
The Housing Executive has provided the table below detailing the social housing waiting list in North Down as at June of each of the last three years.
| Applicants | Applicants in Housing Stress (30 points or more) | Full Duty Applicants | |
| June 2022 | 1,887 | 1,308 | 994 |
| June 2021 | 1,942 | 1,359 | 961 |
| June 2020 | 1,707 | 1,229 | 880 |
The applicant Information is as at end of June of the relevant year.
For full Duty Applicants, these are applicants accepted as being homeless, to whom the Housing Executive owes a duty under the Homelessness legislation, Article 10(2) of the Housing Order, 1988 to “secure that accommodation becomes available for his/her occupation”.
