Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities whether he will amend the housing selection scheme to include domestic violence as a form of intimidation.

Answer:

Work has been ongoing in relation to the Fundamental Review of Social Housing Allocations. My officials are working with the Housing Executive to consider the way forward for the proposal relating to intimidation points. This includes independent research which is due to complete by the end of March 2024.

Once options in relation to this proposal have been further developed, I will give them my consideration.
