Introduction

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive is a Non-Departmental Public Body, established by the Housing Executive Act (Northern Ireland) 1971. Under this Act, we took over the housing responsibilities of 65 separate authorities and became Northern Ireland’s overall housing authority.

We are also one of the province’s largest public sector organisations. With a budget of over £600m and a staff of over 3,000 we make a substantial contribution to better health, education and wellbeing through housing.

In addition, our work with communities on housing services and the issues that affect local neighbourhoods adds real value to decision-making, service development and higher standards.
