Habinteg’s £48m investment in social housing in Derry and Strabane

Habinteg Housing Association says it’s on course to build 360 new social homes as part of an overall £57m investment in the next year.

The housing association says it’s committed to investing more than £48m in Derry and Strabane, with more than £9m in Belfast developments in their current programme into 2023.

It says the 42-unit development at Duke Street in the Waterside area of Derry has now been handed over to tenants.

Said Darren McKinney, chief executive of Habinteg: “We remain fully committed, during this intensive construction period, to building homes to the highest standards for our tenants.

“As we move to a net zero carbon world, and an ongoing cost-of-living crisis, we are investing in delivering sustainable homes and focusing on energy efficiency to ensure our tenants are not heading into fuel poverty.

“In 2023, we look forward to welcoming our new tenants into the first phase of our 158 homes scheme at Beechmount Village, Strabane.”
