Answer
Housing need is generally addressed through the re-let of existing social housing accommodation (Stock turnover). Where the volume of re-lets is insufficient to meet housing need, then construction or acquisition of further (new) social housing is required.
The information you have requested regarding how social housing need will be met in North Lurgan, is an operational matter for the Northern Ireland Housing Executive.
You should, therefore, direct your question to Northern Ireland Housing Executive at Public.Affairsunit@nihe.gov.uk
