Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail how many children were declared homeless, by constituency, in each of the last three years.


Answer:
The Northern Ireland Housing Executive maintains homelessness information on households, that is, individuals, families or any group of people that normally live together. The Housing Executive has advised that it does not maintain that information by constituency.
Information is available by Housing Executive Local Office and the numbers of households with one or more children accepted as homeless in each of the last three years are in the tables below. Young people aged 16/17 may seek homelessness assistance as individuals and those accepted as homeless in this category are reported separately.
