A draft plan has been announced to deliver over 100,000 homes across Northern Ireland over a 15-year period.

The draft Housing Supply Strategy from Communities Minister Deirdre Hargey sets out plans for over 100,000 homes, a third of which will be social homes, available to meet the needs of elderly people, those with disabilities and young people.

Launching the public consultation on the Strategy, Minister Hargey said: "Transforming housing supply will require a collective response from the Executive and real collaboration. It must major on engaging with those people who are in housing need. This approach is built on the principle that those who are most affected by poor housing are best placed to help design or redesign it."

This consultation period will run until 09 February 2022.

The Minister added: "Access to a safe and secure home is a basic human right – I have set out how I will build quality homes where they are needed. My department is seeking your views on my draft Housing Supply Strategy.

"Your participation in this stage of the Strategy development is critical and I would urge you to get involved.

"Everyone should have access to a safe, secure and affordable place to call home – lets make this happen."
