To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any projected homelessness trends for the South Antrim constituency, over the next five years, including any internal modelling or risk assessments undertaken by his Department, and the Housing Executive.

This issue is an operational matter for the Northern Ireland Housing Executive. I have sought the requested information from the Chief Executive, who has advised me as follows:

“While the Housing Executive does not predict the level of homelessness, our focus, as per the Homelessness Strategy 2022-27, is to prioritise the prevention of homelessness by working with a range of statutory and voluntary partners to minimise the number of households who present as homeless in areas such as South Antrim.”
