The staffing complement of my Department’s Housing Delivery Office (HDO) has been increased recently from 3 to 4, comprising 2 civil servants and 2 officers with experience of housing delivery and the local government sector. In addition, the HDO draws on supports from other relevant Business Units in my Department and other relevant public bodies.
As with all critical areas of activity in my Department, the resources available to the HDO are kept under regular review in the context of the ongoing evolution of the Office’s role. I expect a fifth assignment to be made shortly and a number of further assignments are expected in the coming months.
