The Housing Agency was established under Statutory Instrument No. 264 of 2012, Housing and Sustainable Communities Agency (Establishment Order) 2012, and Section 7 deals with staffing of the Housing Agency. Details of the number of staff employed by the Housing Agency in each of the years 2016 to 2020 and to date in 2021 and the breakdown of staff in terms of function is set out in the following table.
| No. of Staff Employed in Housing Agency | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operations including Office of Chief Executive | 8 | 10 | 11 | 17 | 23 | 26 |
| Delivery | 12 | 20 | 20 | 33 | 43 | 49 |
| Projects/Procurement & Pyrite | 11 | 11 | 12 | 12 | 15 | 19 |
