CABINET NOTES- The Cabinet has been advised of the significant increase in requests from Antiguans and Barbudans to the National Housing Development and Urban Renewal Company Limited for the construction of homes, reflecting the growing demand for affordable housing across the country.
Since assuming office, the Gaston Browne Administration has overseen the construction of more than 1,000 homes, underscoring the Government’s continued commitment to improving access to housing and strengthening community development. Despite this progress, the level of demand has exceeded the current construction capacity of the National Housing Development and Urban Renewal Company Limited
In response, Cabinet has agreed to a recommendation by Chairman of the National Housing Development and Urban Renewal Company Limited , The Hon. Rawdon Turner, to initiate a call-up of qualified construction companies to support the company in accelerating the construction of homes that have already been approved.
The company has identified several parcels of land that are ready for development under this initiative, to include 26 lots in Cedar Grove, 100 lots in Five Islands, 150 lots in Oliver’s, and 20 lots in Freetown.
This collaborative approach is intended to expand housing delivery, reduce waiting times for applicants, and ensure that more Antiguans and Barbudans are able to access safe and affordable homes in a timely manner.
Further details regarding the call-up process and participation requirements for construction companies will be announced by the National Housing Development and Urban Renewal Company Limited in the coming weeks.
