Housing Distribution Ceremony- March 17, 2018

Saturday, March 17, 2018, will forever be remembered by several families as the date they received their very own home from the Housing Development Corporation. The ceremony which was hosted at Vieux Fort, St James saw Minister of Housing the Honourable Randall Mitchell and Prime Minister Dr. the Honourable Keith Rowley distributing units for many developments across the country.

These new homeowners and their families will now have the opportunity to be a part of the following HDC communities:

• Vieux Fort, St James
• Trestrail, D’abadie
• Oasis Greens, Chaguanas
• Cypress Hills, San Fernando

Delivering remarks at the ceremony, Housing Minister the Honourable Randall Mitchell reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to providing housing solutions to those most in need. Addressing the audience, he said, “I can tell you that the plan to provide affordable housing solutions for low and middle-income earners, is still very much alive today and is part of this Government’s Vision 2030 plan.”

Also in attendance were His Worship Joel Martinez, Mayor of Port of Spain, the Honourable Marlene Mc Donald, Member of Parliament for Port of Spain South, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, Ms. Simone Thorne-Mora, Chairman of the HDC, Mr. Newman George and Managing Director of the HDC, Mr. Brent Lyons.

The new residents had the opportunity to tour one of the model units at Vieux Fort which was staged courtesy Courts. Beneficiaries also engaged with the staff of Bmobile who were on hand to showcase their services. Thank you Courts and Bmbobile!

Congratulations to all recipients!
