Northern Ireland Housing Executive
The Northern Ireland Housing Executive is a regulatory body in Northern Ireland that regulates housing. It is the enforcing authority for those parts of housing orders that involve houses with multiple occupants, houses that are unfit, and housing conditions.[1][2]
The Executive was established in 1971, at the urging of the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) leadership, in particular that of John Hume. It was modelled on the Northern Ireland Housing Trust. In 1973, it took over the housing functions of the New Town Development Commissions for Derry, County Antrim, Ballymena, and Craigavon.[1][3]
As of 1991, the Executive owned 170,000 dwellings in Northern Ireland.[4]
