"More than bricks" ( 5882 KB) - Northern Ireland Housing Executive

2011 marks the 40th anniversary of the Housing
Executive, an organisation which has a proud history
of achievement and progress.
Since its formation in 1971 the Housing Executive
has built many houses, sold tens of thousands of
homes to tenants, carried out countless repairs
and improvements to its stock, provided thousands
of improvement grants for private households and
demolished unfit dwellings.
When you work in housing, however, you quickly
learn that the job is more than bricks. When you
work in housing you deal with people, families and
communities.
At the forefront of all that we have achieved has
been the delivery of decent homes for the people of
Northern Ireland. Our vision has been one in which
housing plays its part in making a vital contribution to
creating a peaceful, inclusive and fair society.
While one of our constant challenges has been
working against the backdrop of community division,
the organisation has worked through recessions and
the recent rapid growth in the housing market and its
sudden collapse in 2008. This is a testament to the
quality of our staff and their professional approach to
housing.
