Housing Minister Dr David Lee says that for too long, housing delivery in T&T has fallen far short of national needs, as more than 100,000 applicants remain on the Housing Development Corporation (HDC) database, yet only 4,000 homes were built in the past decade. He says it is a gap that could only be described as a failure of delivery.
He made the comments at an awards banquet held by the T&T Contractors’ Association (TTCA) on Saturday evening.
Lee gave the assurance that the Government is moving decisively to change that reality, setting a target of 20,000 affordable, sustainable homes within the next four to five years, backed by a clear work programme and modern construction methods.
