Minister in the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development Adrian Leonce said contractors working with the Ministry’s Housing and Village Improvement Programme (HVIP) will now receive $200,000 per unit built on flat lands, an increase of $35,000 from the current grant of $165,000.

He made the announcement at a key handover ceremony at the Bon Air Gardens Community Centre on March 12.

Leonce said a tiered system had been introduced in 2022 to help people build on the different types of terrain in TT. Recipients with homes on flat terrain received $165,000 under the programme, those on undulating terrain receive $170,000 and on hilly terrain, $175,000.
