Warm Healthy Homes Strategy 2026 - 2036 documentation
Date published:
The Department for Communities Minister launched the Executive’s Warm Healthy Homes Strategy 2026-2036 in a statement to the Assembly on 5 February 2026. The Strategy sets out an ambitious vision for everyone in Northern Ireland to live in a warm, healthy home.
The strategy was developed through extensive stakeholder engagement, ensuring that the voices of those most affected by fuel poverty and voluntary sector, industry and statutory partners shaped its priorities.
Key elements of the strategy include:
- A coordinated, cross-government approach to addressing fuel poverty.
- Long-term measures to improve energy efficiency and affordability.
- Partnership working with stakeholders to deliver sustainable solutions.
The Strategy’s success will rely on close collaboration to ensure effective delivery and meaningful outcomes. This whole-of-government approach reflects the Executive’s commitment to tackling fuel poverty and the challenges caused by living in cold, damp homes.
