Jamaica’s Govt to implement HOPE

Jamaica: Jamaica’s Government would be implementing a social housing initiative under the Housing, Opportunity, Production, and Employment Programme (HOPE).

Prime Minister of Jamaica, Andrew Holness wrote, “In November 2018, I announced that Jamaica’s Government would be implementing a social housing initiative under the Housing, Opportunity, Production, and Employment Programme (HOPE).”

Prime Minister of Jamaica Andrew Holness added, The Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation has oversight for constructing these homes. 

This Programme was developed to improve the housing condition of the country’s poor and marginalized population.

The previous day, it was a great pleasure to hand over a new housing solution to a mother of two, Vanesia Reid, in St. Andrew Southern.

A total of 290 applications have been garnered from Members of Parliament across 58 constituencies. 

Of the 290 applications received, 213 have been approved by the New Social Housing Project Oversight Committee (POC). It is expected that all schemes will be completed by the end of the 2020/2021 financial year.
