Answer

This issue is an operational matter for the Northern Ireland Housing Executive. I have sought the requested information from the Chief Executive, who has advised me as follows:

“The Housing Executive’s strategic approach to supporting applicants in temporary accommodation, including assisting with timeliness of move-on options, is outlined in the Strategic Action Plan for Temporary Accommodation which can be found at:
