Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities for a breakdown of the social housing waiting list in North Down for the last three years.

Answer:

The Housing Executive has provided the table below detailing the social housing waiting list in North Down as at June of each of the last three years.

	Applicants	Applicants in Housing Stress (30 points or more)	Full Duty Applicants
June 2022	1,887	1,308	994
June 2021	1,942	1,359	961
June 2020	1,707	1,229	880

The applicant Information is as at end of June of the relevant year.

For full Duty Applicants, these are applicants accepted as being homeless, to whom the Housing Executive owes a duty under the Homelessness legislation, Article 10(2) of the Housing Order, 1988 to “secure that accommodation becomes available for his/her occupation”.
