The Housing Executive

To help you settle into your local community a welcome pack has been developed by the Housing Executive Inter Community Network and the Community Cohesion Unit. Copies of current welcome packs can be downloaded below and these will be updated regularly.

These give basic information which should be useful for people new to the area and also those new to Northern Ireland. They give details about a wide range of services and how to access them and aim to “signpost” the reader to where further information can be found.

Each District Housing Community Network can develop its own local version. Please contact your district manager if you would like to help develop a Welcome Pack for your area or if you would like copies of your local pack.

Support in the development of the Community Welcome Pack will be provided by Linda Hutchinson in the Community Cohesion Unit and your Supporting Communities NI (SCNI) Liaison Officer.
