Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to outline his plans for future stock transfers from the Northern Ireland Housing Executive to Housing Associations.

Answer:

As part of the Housing Strategy for Northern Ireland, the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE) has undertaken to transfer 2,000 homes to housing associations in order to deliver £100 million of investment to the stock. Any such transfers as part of this process of small scale stock transfer require tenant agreement. This is currently being taken forward by the NIHE.
