Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness wants the beneficiaries of the National Housing Trust's (NHT) Malvern service lot development in St Elizabeth to build their homes within their financial means, arguing that sustainable wealth is created gradually through responsible homeownership and careful financial planning.

Addressing the new landowners during last week’s handover ceremony, Holness said owning land represents the first step toward building lasting family wealth and stability.

"For many Jamaicans, owning a home begins with owning land. It begins with a piece of Jamaica that they can call theirs, a place to build slowly,” said Holness. “Some will build quickly, but whatever you do, build carefully and always build within your means." Holness told the beneficiaries.
