David Lee, Min­is­ter of Hous­ing, and Phillip Alexan­der, Min­is­ter in the Min­istry, em­barked on a tour of sev­er­al hous­ing de­vel­op­ment projects lo­cat­ed in south, cen­tral, east and north Trinidad un­der the purview of the Hous­ing De­vel­op­ment Cor­po­ra­tion (HDC).

The Min­is­ters were ac­com­pa­nied by the Man­ag­ing Di­rec­tor of HDC, Jay­selle Mc­Far­lane and of­fi­cials of its sub­sidiaries, along with tech­ni­cal teams and oth­er key per­son­nel. These tours form part of the Min­is­ters’ wider fa­mil­iar­iza­tion ef­forts of the Min­istry and its Agen­cies and, is de­signed to pro­vide an in­sight in­to the progress of on­go­ing projects and pro­grammes.

Dur­ing the tour, the Min­is­ters en­gaged di­rect­ly with project man­agers, site en­gi­neers and con­trac­tors, ob­serv­ing the sta­tus of con­struc­tion works, while gain­ing valu­able up­dates on time­lines, com­mu­ni­ty im­pact, and in­fra­struc­ture needs. The vis­its un­der­scored the Min­istry’s con­tin­ued com­mit­ment to en­sur­ing that hous­ing so­lu­tions are de­liv­ered ef­fi­cient­ly, sus­tain­ably, and in align­ment with the na­tion­al de­vel­op­ment agen­da.
