Belfast - Northern Ireland Housing Executive

East Belfast
The East Belfast boundary is defined by the Ravenhill Road to the west, extending to
Holywood in the north and Castlereagh Borough in the east and south.
Over the 5 years, 2009-2013, the number of applicants in housing stress has fallen by
23%. This may be explained by the delivery of several large new build schemes as
part of the inner east Belfast urban regeneration programme over the same period.
The demand from elderly applicants in East Belfast continues to represent an
increasing proportion of the waiting list, 25% of housing stress applicants are elderly
households.
