Flax Foyer

The Flax Foyer is a project of NB Housing. We support young people aged 18-25 who are homeless to prepare for independent living.

The Foyer contains 37 self-contained units of accommodation. A common room, common laundry and a computer suite are also provided. It is close to local amenities in North Belfast, library, doctors, dentists, bus stops, taxi ranks and several supermarkets. Staff in the Foyer will be only too happy to help you with directions to these amenities if you are unsure where to go.

Our Vision: To lead physical, social and economic regeneration through outstanding social housing.

Our Mission: NB Housing provides affordable rents and homes that build vibrant neighbourhoods and communities.

Our Values:
Leadership – We will demonstrate our leadership through the excellence of our housing and services, and the professionalism of our team.
Aspiration – We encourage the aspirations of our employees in their own personal and professional development. In the same manner we encourage communities to aspire to better standards of housing and regeneration.
Personal – We build homes not houses. We consider the needs of families, individuals, and the community before anything else in our developments.
Esteem - We value more than the physical regeneration of housing stock, but the restoration of esteem that people have for themselves, for their home, and for their community.
Community/Togetherness – We will listen to and respect each other working together to achieve a vibrant and prosperous community. We act collectively as one team to support one another, working co-operatively, respecting each other’s views, and making our work environment enjoyable.
Integrity – We will be accountable and transparent to our customers, respectful of our tenants, and proud of our service delivery.

The cost of staying at the Foyer will vary based on your income. Staff will discuss this with you before you move in. As the Foyer is supported accommodation there are two elements to your stay here, your support needs paid for by Supporting People and your accommodation needs paid for by yourself or Housing Benefit.
