Communities Minister @gordonlyons1 has launched an ambitious cross-departmental plan to tackle housing issues. Minister Lyons set out the first whole system Housing Supply Strategy at the Assembly. He said: “The housing issues we face are significant, and the current situation is not sustainable. For too long, there has been no joined-up, cross-departmental approach to housing supply. That ends now. More info: communities-ni.gov.uk/news/m…
ALT Communities Minister Gordon Lyons marked the announcement of the Housing Supply Strategy at Stormont with co-signatories Seamus Leheny (Northern Ireland Federation of Housing Association), Nicola McCrudden (Homeless Connect), Justin Cartwright (Chartered Institute of Housing Northern Ireland), Grainia Long (The Northern Ireland Housing Executive), and Mark Spence (Construction Employers Federation).

The emphasis on sustainability is also commendable. The proposed introduction of minimum energy efficiency standards in the private rented sector is a step in the right direction. However, it's crucial to provide support for landlords and tenants to upgrade their homes.
