The Housing Forum plays an important role in inputting to policy development and evaluating outcomes over the period of the framework of the National Agreement, Towards 2016. The Forum provides an opportunity for its members to contribute constructively to ongoing housing policy formulation and implementation. It also has a monitoring role in relation to activity on housing programmes.

The most recent meeting of the Housing Forum took place on 22 September 2009 and I anticipate that the Forum will formally meet again shortly.
