£17.57m Investment Announced For Mid And East Antrim
The Housing Executive (HE) has announced an investment of £17.57m and the delivery of new homes for the newly-established Mid and East Antrim council area.
The announcement was made during the HE's first annual consultation with local government for the area and is part of the new Housing Investment Plan (HIP), which has replaced the District Housing Plan of previous years.
Speaking at the presentation to Mid and East Antrim, Frank O Connor, the Housing Executive's Regional Manager for North, said: "The Housing Executive works hard to maintain a good working relationship with councils and it is important this continues.
"Our Housing Investment Plan has been informed by a range of stakeholders and was developed as a comprehensive conversation piece for the whole housing sector in Northern Ireland.
"As the strategic housing authority for Northern Ireland we have prepared this plan to inform the community planning partnership on the state of the housing market, on housing needs, the policy priorities and public sector investment proposals for 2015-19.
"There is a lot of work that needs to be done to meet housing need, improve housing stock and provide support for the most vulnerable in our community. We at the Housing Executive will continue to play our part to ensure this work is delivered efficiently, effectively and judiciously."
