Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the number of new social homes that will be built in the Strangford constituency in (i) 2022; and (ii) 2023, broken down by type of house and number of bedrooms.

Answer:

79 new social housing homes are currently under construction in the Strangford parliamentary constituency, with an anticipated practical completion date in 2022 or 2023.

32 new social housing homes are currently programmed to start through the Social Housing Development Programme (SHDP) in 2022/23 and 2023/24 in the Strangford parliamentary constituency.

Please note that programmed schemes can be lost or slip to future programme years for a variety of reasons e.g. relating to delays in acquiring sites and/or failure to secure Planning Approval. Additional schemes can also be added to the SHDP ‘in-year’ through Competitive Design & Build

procurement route and/or the purchase of Existing Satisfactory / Off-the-Shelf properties.
