Question:
To ask the Minister for Social Development what actions his Department has taken to advance the Together: Building a United Community objective of reviewing housing provision to bring forward recommendations on enhancing shared neighbourhoods.

Answer:

There is already a substantial body of research, evidence and literature on shared housing. As a first step, my officials are working on producing a review of this to identify key gaps. It is then my intention to commission a study in the next financial year, resources permitting, which aims to build further our understanding on how we can further enhance the provision of shared neighbourhoods.
