This Area Needs Social Housing

According to Housing Executive figures, only 405 social houses were built in 2022-2023, compared to a projected a need of more than 24,000 homes (ITV). Belfast City Council’s ‘Local Development Plan’ has set a quota of 20% social and affordable housing for developers (Inside Housing).

There have been calls for more housing in various areas of Belfast; see previously: Every Generation Needs Regeneration | Is This Our City? | Homes!!! | Build Homes Now.
