The policy aims to:
- assist NI citizens to explore options to housing problems relating to a core area i.e. prevention of homelessness, accessing accommodation, affordability, housing conditions;
- provide information/advice, advocacy & negotiation and representation as appropriate;
- use evidence to identify issues and help bring about improvements in housing legislation, policy and practice; and
- enable Housing Rights to access funding from a number of other sources (public and private) so they can deliver a variety of other programmes/ projects.
The policy plans to provide an annual grant for the next 3 years (2022–25). A grant for this purpose has been provided to Housing Rights for many years.
