There are currently no proposals to introduce a specific mechanism for transferring households from social housing in Northern Ireland. The allocation of social housing in individual cases is a matter for the housing authority concerned in accordance with its scheme of letting priorities and authorities have discretion to accept housing applicants from outside their functional area.
