The Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) has committed to the construction of over 350 low income housing units in 2019 as part of its continued housing solution plans.
This was disclosed yesterday by Minister within the Ministry of Communities Valerie Patterson-Yearwood during the start of the debate of the government’s proposed 2019 national budget.
“Mr. Speaker it is widely known that the persons in the lower income bracket represent the families in need of housing and they are also the group that has the most challenges to acquire decent, affordable houses. We will be addressing this situation frontally; CH&PA has designed several low income housing units which will be on display at an exhibition in 2019,” Patterson-Yearwood said, while noting that the cost of the units will be $4 million.
