Northern Ireland Housing Executive, Belfast

We were established in 1971 as Northern Ireland’s strategic housing authority. We offer a range of services to people living in socially rented, privately rented and owner occupied accommodation as well as supporting and working with a number of other public bodies. A decent home is one which meets modern standards of fitness, structure, energy efficiency and facilities. We are working hard to bring all homes in Northern Ireland up to standard. To do this we are: providing effective programmes of improvement and maintenance; reducing the levels of unfit housing and improving housing conditions in the private sector through grant aid; promoting good standards of housing design and practice; improving energy efficiency, promoting energy conservation and helping to alleviate fuel poverty.
