The Ministry of Housing and Water yesterday announced that applications are once again being considered for core home support and home improvement subsidies.

The initiative is part of the Inter-American Development Bank-funded US$28 million Adequate Housing and Urban Accessibility Programme (AHUAP) and is aimed at improving the lives of urban and peri-urban citizens through access to better housing and basic infrastructure.

The call for applications is being made for the second phase of the five year programme, which will see an additional 150 core homes being constructed and 1764 subsidies delivered.
