Answer
(a) – (g)
The Department of Communities do not classify our public housing data in the identifiers requested. Due to a change in reporting systems within Communities, identifiers (bed bath ratio against average cost per region), were not captured in a single source prior to 2021, and would require a manual review of individual files to provide. However, should the Member have a more specific question, I will endeavour to provide a response.
