  • CHNI Submission to the Programme for Government Draft Outcomes Framework Consultation
    CHNI Submission |March 2021 CHNI Submission to the Programme for Government Draft Outcomes Framework Consultation Introduction 1. Council for the Homeless Northern Ireland (CHNI) was founded in 1983 to represent organisations working with people experiencing homelessness. Our vision is to see an end to homelessness, and we exist to prevent and alleviate homelessness in Northern Ireland. We do this by working collaboratively to create a community of support, by being the voice of the sector and by delivering direct assistance through our projects. 2. CHNI welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Programme for Government (PfG) Draft Outcomes Framework consultation. We believe the Draft Outcomes Framework has the potential to provide an effective and impactful overarching framework for policy across a wide spectrum of important issues in this jurisdiction. We are, however, disappointed with how housing and homelessness have been considered in the proposed draft document. As this submission will make clear, we strongly recommend housing and homelessness are considered through their own specific outcome indicator. We do not believe the current approach utilised in the draft outcomes framework will lead to the best results for housing and homelessness policy. New Decade, New Approach 3. We are cognisant of the important role the ‘New Decade, New Approach’ (NDNA) Agreement has played in the development of the draft Outcomes Framework. NDNA made a number of commitments regarding housing and homelessness in particular which we believe were positive. One of those commitments was for the Programme for Government to be “augmented with a new outcome and indicators to provide specific focus on ensuring every household has access to a good quality, affordable and sustainable home that is appropriate for its needs.”1 This commitment has not been met in the draft Outcomes Framework.
