Answered on 20 March 2014

The Department of Housing advises:

(a)    - (d)           The Department is only able to provide figures based on its regions.

[See Tabled Paper no.]

(e)                    Sixty-four tenancies were terminated for reasons other than disruptive behaviour where the maximum action under the disruptive behaviour management strategy was concurrently taking place. This data is not collated by region. 

(f) - (k)            The Department is unable to answer these questions.  The Department has a memorandum of understanding and works closely with the Department for Child Protection and Family Support in relation to families that are at risk of termination.
