HOUSING Minister David Lee said he has begun to assess the country's stock of housing units, including those already built but in need of remediation and those yet to be built.

In an interview on May 19, he said, "We are still working with the HDC (Housing Development Corporation) to see where they had identified new projects. Also, we are working on identifying funding for these new projects.

"So I am sure these new projects will come on board when the new budget is in place in September or October. Right now we are trying to finish up what projects were already in train so we can allocate and complete those new housing stock to be allocated out."
