Participating Neighbourhoods
The project will target 40 Housing Association developments giving a wide geographical spread across Northern Ireland and including a number in the eligible border areas of the Republic of Ireland. It will be delivered by 4 Good Relations Officers, supported by TIDES Training, overseen by a Project Coordinator and a Finance Officer. Each Good Relations Officer will be responsible for 10 neighbourhoods and the roll out of the Project in those neighbourhoods as part of a staged process.
