Equality Commission for Northern Ireland: Article link
The Equality Commission has published a 'Statement on Key Inequalities in Housing and Communities in Northern Ireland' - its assessment of inequalities and differences in experiences of housing faced by people from different equality categories.
The Statement draws on a wide range of sources and highlights areas where the Commission considers key inequalities persist.
Dr Evelyn Collins, Chief Executive of the Equality Commission, said: "We acknowledge that progress has been made to improve housing stock and develop access to suitable accommodation across Northern Ireland over the past decades, but there is compelling evidence that work still needs to be done to address enduring inequalities, which continue to affect people across our community."
