The Housing Executive does not consider all threats to be intimidation. The intimidation must be serious and fall into certain categories. The Housing Executive will award you 200 points if it decides that you have been intimidated from your home.
When will I get the 200 intimidation points?
You should get the 200 intimidation points if your home was destroyed in a:
- terrorist attack
- racial attack
- sectarian attack
- attack because of your sexuality
- attack because you have a disability
The Housing Executive will also give you 200 points if you can't live in your home because of the risk of one of these types of attack.
The Housing Executive will give you intimidation points if you can produce evidence from the police to support your case. The Housing Executive should consider you homeless if it decides you have been intimidated from your home.
What other points will I get?
If the Housing Executive decides that you have been intimidated from your home you will receive the 200 points for intimidation. You should also be given 70 homelessness points as a Full Duty Applicant. You should also receive additional 20 points from primary social need factor 1.
Get advice if the Housing Executive decides you have been intimidated from your home, but you have less than 290 points on the Selection Scheme.
You may also be entitled to an intimidation grant. If you own your home you could be eligible for the Scheme for Purchase of Evacuated Dwellings (SPED). Contact your local Housing Executive District Office for more information.
