Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities how many people have presented as homeless to the Northern Ireland Housing Executive due to victimisation, broken down by category, in each of the last ten years.

Answer:

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive holds data on those who present and are accepted as homeless due to intimidation, rather than victimisation, across a number of categories. This data for the last 10 years is set out at Appendix 1.

Appendix 1: People who presented as homeless to the Northern Ireland Housing Executive due to intimidation, broken down by category, in each of the last ten years.

N.B. Prior to 2011/12, the information regarding full duty application status by category was not collected and only a total figure can be provided for the years 2006/7 to 2010/11. Records from 2011/12 to 2015/16 also detail the number accepted as full duty applicants broken down by intimidation category.
