Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities for his assessment of the benefits of updating the criteria for the awarding of intimidation points through the Housing Executive.

Answer:

The Housing Selection Scheme, including intimidation points, has been in place relatively unchanged for decades. Long-awaited updates are underway via the implementation stage of the Fundamental Review of Social Housing Allocations. This includes exploration of options for intimidation points. I will consider next steps in due course.
