A Ministry of Housing and Water release yesterday stated that six families from the communities of Haslington, Non Pariel, Lusignan, Good Hope and Cummings Lodge, received the keys to their new ‘Core Homes’ and Certificates of Inspection under the Adequate Housing and Urban Accessibility Programme (AHUAP).
Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal, who along with Deputy Director of Community Development at Central Housing & Planning Authority, Donell Bess-Bascom, handed over the houses to the families, said that under the programme, each beneficiary contributes only $100,000 toward the cost of their new home. Each home has two bedrooms, a kitchen, and indoor sanitary facilities, and is valued at $5 million. All beneficiaries were selected during a previous application period, which is now closed.
