Member of Ards & North Down Housing Community Network. The HCN works on four levels:

Community
At the estate or community level, local office and Supporting Communities staff are available to assist communities in setting up bona fide associations to represent the views of their local community to the Housing Executive and other agencies. Area
Area managers will look for representatives from each of the local resident/community associations across the neighbourhood to come together at a neighbourhood forum. The forum will discuss service group standards, service delivery and related housing issues. Regions
There is also a forum set up in each of the Housing Executive's 5 regions, to which each District HCN sends representatives. The Regional Housing Community Networks monitor and review services throughout their area. The Housing Community Network is the Housing Executive's central panel advising on our policies and procedures. The HCN comprises 15 tenant and community representatives nominated from the area networks. The Central Housing Forum is a consultative panel to the Housing Executive and is made up of representatives from each of the 13 areas, as well as representation from hard-to-reach groups, including young people, people with disabilities and people from rural areas. The Central Housing Forum represents the Housing Community Network, the key forum for tenant engagement in Northern Ireland. The Housing Community Network is comprised of approximately 500 community groups across NI as well as representative tenant involvement panels in each of the Housing Executive Areas of housing management. This forum has a recognised and meaningful role in the monitoring and decision-making process of the Housing Executive and influences decisions affecting tenants and communities. The panel scrutinises policies and procedures and, moreover, acts as a quality assurance to the Housing Executive Board.
