Answer
Officials have commenced work to assess options to revitalise the Housing Executive inclusive of a comprehensive rental review.
It is my preference that the landlord section of the Housing Executive becomes a co-operative or mutual model.
I intend to bring proposals to the Executive before the end of this mandate.
