Belfast - Northern Ireland Housing Executive

Shankill
The Shankill boundary extends from Brown Square in the east to Glencairn in the
west and is wedged between the Crumlin Road in the north and the Falls ‘peace
line’ in the south.
More than half of the housing stock in the Shankill is social housing. The numbers of
applicants on the waiting list increased during 2012/13, and at March 2013 43% of
applicants were in housing stress.
Single applicants represent the largest household group in housing stress, with elderly
and families having equal shares. The majority of applicants are on the waiting list for
less than one year with the exception of elderly.
