Answer

This issue is an operational matter for the Housing Executive.

I have sought the requested information from the Chief Executive, who has advised me as follows:

“Work is ongoing to survey all NIHE properties across NI to classify them on an Accessible Housing Register. Regrettably in the absence of the full picture NIHE are not in a position at this time to provide the requested data.

The Housing Executive does not hold Housing Association stock figures”

For any future queries relating to operational matters, you may wish to contact the NIHE directly. Making direct contact with the ALB will ensure that you receive the information in the shortest possible timeframe and make best use of public resources.
