The Housing Community Network is the key forum for tenant and community engagement in Northern Ireland.

Known in Housing Executive circles as the HCN, the network is comprised of over 500 community groups across Northern Ireland as well as representative tenant involvement panels in each of the Housing Executive Areas of housing management.

The Central Housing Forum sits at the top of the HCN pyramid structure. This group of representatives has a recognised and meaningful role in the monitoring and decision-making process of the Housing Executive and influences decisions affecting tenants and communities all over Northern Ireland.

Supporting Communities organises this network and acts as a secretariat to the various forums ensuring an independent and fair record of events is kept and acted on.
