<p>The Department for Communities in Northern Ireland sponsors the Northern Ireland
Housing Executive. It is Northern Ireland’s largest social landlord and provides 86,000
social homes. This is 1 in 9 of all homes in Northern Ireland.</p><p> </p><p>I am
aware that officials in the Department for Communities have carried out work to assess
the financial requirements of the Northern Ireland Housing Executive. Any changes
in response to this assessment are rightly the responsibility of the devolved Stormont
Assembly and Executive. In the absence of an Executive, this is a matter for the Permanent
Secretary of the Department within the limits of the EFEF Act.</p><p> </p>
