Housing Development Program Progresses in St. Kitts
New Homes for Low-Income Families
The dream of homeownership is coming closer to reality for many persons across St. Kitts, as East Coast Housing Development and the National Housing Corporation (NHC) are moving ahead with the buildout of phase one of the housing programme.
Prime Minister the Honourable Dr. Terrance Drew recently visited a site in St. Peter’s, where land is being cleared for home construction. Dr. Drew expressed his elation in this significant step being taken to foster sustainable development and provide affordable housing solutions, thereby creating generational wealth across the Federation.
Success Stories
Two climate-smart model homes were previously built and handed over to two deserving families—one in Conaree and the other in Taylor’s Village. Mr. David Morton, a security guard at the Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport, is one of the successful candidates who will benefit from the first phase of the housing programme.
“Housing Revolution is intended to provide affordable, climate-resilient homes to the average citizens of St. Kitts and Nevis,” said Prime Minister Dr. Drew. “Persons like David should also have the opportunity to own a home, and I know that he feels really good that NHC and this programme is coming through to help him to own his own home and so I would want to congratulate him.”
Benefits of the Program
The program provides affordable housing solutions, thus creating generational wealth for families. It also offers climate-resilient homes, which are designed to withstand natural disasters and preserve the environment.
Conclusion
The Housing Development program is a significant step forward in providing affordable housing solutions for low-income families in St. Kitts.
