Answer
The Housing Executive has statutory responsibility for responding to homelessness, including provision of homelessness accommodation, as such I have sought the requested information from the Chief Executive, who has advised me as follows:
“The Housing Executive’s approach to identify and help people escape a long-term period of homelessness is outlined in the Homelessness Strategy 2022-27 which can be found on https://www.nihe.gov.uk/getattachment/73313718-aa0e-4aae-b122-6573dcab88c7/Ending-Homelessness-Together-Homelessness-Strategy-2022-27.pdf “
