Gov’t working with private developers to deliver affordable housing, says Charles Jr

KINGSTON, Jamaica— Minister of Housing, Urban Renewal, Environment and Climate Change, Pearnel Charles Jr, says that the Government is working with private developers to provide affordable and environmentally friendly housing solutions for Jamaicans.

“We are supporting and partnering with private developers to ensure that we can provide affordable housing for our citizens. Affordable housing must be [provided] in communities… where families can feel safe [and] have ownership of their space,” he said.

Charles Jr was speaking with reporters while on a tour of the Foreshore Estate in Delacree Pen, St Andrew, on Friday (November 19).

World Homes Jamaica Limited is undertaking the project for the construction of 239 housing units in the gated community.
