Northern Ireland Housing Executive - Community Involvement Grants

Grants are available to residents and community groups in Northern Ireland Housing Executive communities for projects that deliver benefits for people and the environment in their local area.

The funding is intended to support residents and community groups in Northern Ireland Housing Executive communities with delivering projects that encourage health and wellbeing, environment improvement, intergenerational partnerships and digital inclusion.

Grants of up to £5,000 are available.

Applications will be accepted from constituted community groups, tenants, residents and leaseholder groups who are active within Housing Executive areas across Northern Ireland and are involved in the Housing Community Network (HCN).

Applications from community groups who do not sit on the HCN will only be considered after applications from HCN groups have been reviewed.

The grant should not be seen as a means of continuous funding for projects, groups or schemes for an indefinite period.

The funding is used for costs associated with delivering projects that align with one or more of the programme's themes, which are as follows:

  • Health and Wellbeing

  • Environment Improvement

  • Intergenerational Practice

  • Digital Inclusion

  • Cost of Living/Poverty

Further information can be found in the programme guidelines.

The deadline for applications is 17 June 2025 (16:00).

Applicants must contact their Good Relations Officer for a copy of the Community Involvement Grants guidelines. 

The online application form can be found on the Northern Ireland Housing Executive website.

It is intended that a response will be issued within a maximum of 10 weeks of receipt of the application.
