It was great to meet with @uuponline this morning.
We discussed the importance of Co-Ownership's work in helping people become homeowners and how we support people in the home buying journey.

Our Chief Executive @SeamusLeheny was interviewed for @bbcnewsline last Friday 29th May regarding the growing waiting list for social housing 📺⤵️

The number of households waiting on a list for a social home has now passed 50,000. That number means there are tens of thousands of families living in unsettled accommodation and waiting for the Housing Executive to fulfil it's legal duty to provide a home for them.

Fascinating look back to 50 years ago when we were targeting the building of 8,000 social homes per year!
The point re integrated housing shows how things have improved & progressed today, but we still lots more to do

We're at a point that most people on the housing waiting list can only dream of securing a social home.
More afforable rental and ownership options is one way to tackle the list from one end of it
