flag Northern Ireland reduced housing grants, sparking fears of stalled projects amid a worsening crisis.

flag Northern Ireland’s government has cut public grants for social housing construction from 54% to 46% of costs—down to 42% in high-demand areas—sparking concern from opposition leaders who warn it could stall projects and worsen the housing crisis. flag The Department for Communities says the move, aimed at encouraging private investment and stretching public funds, is part of a broader strategy including a housing supply plan, design reviews, and building on government land. flag While critics fear delays or cancellations, Housing Executive chief Grainia Long asserts associations will assess project viability based on private financing and risk, maintaining that home delivery can continue despite the change.
