Housing Minister Nelson McCausland is urging people across Northern Ireland to speak out about the country's lack of affordable housing options.

'Facing the Future', Northern Ireland's first housing strategy, was discussed at yesterday's assembly.

McCausland said: "This is Northern Ireland's first housing strategy. The proposals set out milestones for the next five years and a vision focused on ensuring access to good quality housing at a reasonable cost.

"This housing strategy is about delivering a programme for the next five years to get Northern Ireland building, working and living in housing that best meets their needs, is affordable and makes best use of the budgets and assets we have at our disposal."
