What we do

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive is the Strategic Housing Authority for Northern Ireland, and a public landlord at scale. 

Our Landlord services are delivered through our Asset Management and Housing Services Divisions. They encompass the full range of landlord services including:

• housing management
• repairing and improving our homes
• engaging with our customers and tenants at a community based level

We actively strive to improve and enhance the communities where our tenants and customers live socially, economically and environmentally. 

As the Strategic Housing Authority for Northern Ireland (sometimes referred to Regional Services) we:

•  assess housing need, oversee the Social Housing Development Programme (SHDP) with our housing association partners
• provide housing support services with our voluntary and community sector partners
• provide homelessness services across Northern Ireland (delivered by colleagues in Housing Services)

Alongside this we undertake an ongoing research programme to produce a comprehensive body of housing market intelligence to help us identify and determine how best to shape our services and the places where people want to live in Northern Ireland. 

Furthermore, we are the Home Energy Conservation Authority (HECA) for Northern Ireland. 

With an annual budget of more than £1.2bn, we provide a range of public services across Northern Ireland. 

Our footprint extends to more than 220,000 homes, and our services impact on the lives of one in every three people.

Our corporate plan sets out how we will work to achieve our vision, and is emphatically focused on the principles of sustainable development: social, environmental and economic.
