Ms Jackie Finney:

We have a number of properties for short term accommodation through our interaction with the other service providers. We spoke about the family hub and that would be leased. Our approach in terms of any properties within our own stock, or through AHBs or leased with other service providers is for the purpose of long term accommodation - the housing first model - and supported accommodation. I have a large number but I do not have it to hand. We have 255 supported tenancies across the region through housing first, housing with supports and also through our regional support service. We have a number of different streams and it is for long term accommodation. We are trying to go straight from exiting homelessness into permanent accommodation.
