If you are interested in applying for independent living accommodation you will need to register with the Housing Executive by completing a housing application and state which scheme or area you are interested in. If you are already a tenant of the Housing Executive or a Housing Association, you will need to complete a transfer application form and return it to your landlord. The Housing Executive will arrange for an officer to assess your housing need and award the appropriate level of points. Your name will then be placed on the waiting list for the scheme/area of your choice, and you will be contacted if a suitable vacancy becomes available. Application can be made by contacting the Northern Ireland Housing Executive office on 0344 892 0900 or any Housing Association.
