2 weeks ago, we showed you the first 3 homes which the Briceno Administration handed over to the first new homeowners under the government housing program.
This is the very first part of a manifesto commitment to provide at least 10,000 low-income homes in the next 5 years.
No way they will make that number, but over the Christmas holidays the Ministry of Infrastructure Development handed over 20 new homes.

New homeowners pay about $25 dollars a week towards the homes. When we asked about the slow pace of this rollout 2 weeks ago, Housing Minister Julius Espat said that the donations will take place more rapidly and more frequently, now that some important logistics have been worked out.
