A Fundamental Review of Social Housing Allocations - Consultation Outcome Report (published 2020)The NIHE’s Housing Selection Scheme has been in place, largely unchanged, since 2000. Housing stress is affecting over 26,000 households in Northern Ireland and over 12,000 households per year are considered homeless.
The Department recognised the need for changes to the current Housing Selection Scheme to make the allocations process more fair, transparent and effective for all. A consultation took place in 2017 on 20 proposals to change the Scheme.
