Choice Group Chief Executive, Michael McDonnell said the firm provides over 500 homes in the ABC area. “The waiting list for social housing is growing and the number has risen by 10% during the pandemic. Choice Housing is working hard, with partners and statutory agencies to address this as a matter of urgency. Evidence from the waiting list and the applicants for our stock, identifies the ABC area as an area with high levels of need. We would encourage the NI Executive to prioritise social housing development as a means of underpinning local economic recovery.”

Christine Holmes, Choice Tenant adds: “Being a Choice tenant has given me peace of mind. My home is safe and secure and Choice staff are always available when I need them. The community in which I live is friendly and supportive and it is good to live in such a secure environment.”
