Results from the last five Continuous Household Surveys estimated that between 11 and 13% of households in Northern Ireland rent their home from a private landlord. However, recently released census figures give us a more accurate picture of the housing situation.
We recently hosted an event bringing together experts by experience (people who have experienced housing problems or homelessness) with service providers, politicians and other key decision makers. Our goal was to talk about how we can involve experts by experience in the decisions that affect them.
On Tuesday 29 November, a range of professionals and campaigners in the Private Rented Sector (PRS) met in the Skainos Centre in Belfast (as well as joining online) to discuss the challenges facing renters in Northern Ireland. Housing Rights CEO Janet Hunter chaired proceedings and welcomed attendees from local government, campaign groups, civil servants and landlords’ representatives.
Homelessness Awareness Week is a week of social, educational and awareness raising events aiming to raise awareness of the reality of homelessness in Northern Ireland.
Housing Rights Executive Committee are delighted to announce the appointment of Kate McCauley as the organisation’s new Chief Executive.
Kate’s career has been dedicated to protecting and promoting the rights of people whose circumstances make them vulnerable to poor housing and homelessness.
