Chekira Lockhart-Hypolite addressing handing over ceremony of 22 homes to families in Bellevue Chopin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Minister of State in the Ministry of Public Works, Public Utilities and the Digital Economy, Chekira Lockhart-Hypolite has announced that over 69 million dollars was distributed across 386 beneficiaries under the Housing Recovery Project.<\/p>\n

She made the announcement during the handing over ceremony of 22 new resilient homes to families in Bellevue Chopin on Monday.\u00a0 She represented Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Melissa Poponne-Skerrit.<\/p>\n

The World Bank made funding available for the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver $69 million dollars was distributed across 386 beneficiaries,\u201d she revealed. \u201cOne of the major challenges under this project was land ownership.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to her, many beneficiaries did not meet the requirements for a clear title.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough this program, the ministry regularized land titles for 170 families, free of cost,\u201d she said. \u201cThe government covered the surveying \u00a0and registration fees so they could receive their titles \u00a0and not miss out on this opportunity \u00a0of a brand new home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Lockhart-Hypolite noted that at the beginning, \u00a0each beneficiary was to receive only $50,000, \u00a0but that was not enough to build secure, \u00a0comfortable homes that met Dominica\u2019s resilience vision.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWith the leadership of the Prime Minister, we revised the grant upward to $141,000, with final units costing $151,000,\u201d she explained.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThis was necessary, [because] building back better demands real investment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Finance Minister Dr. Irving McIntyre, who represented Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, remarked, \u201cThese 22 homes form part of the thousands of housing interventions delivered by this administration over the past several years,\u201d he said. \u201cThey represent thoughtful planning, responsible governance, and strategic investment in the well-being of our citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n

He indicated that the Government of Dominica will continue with its housing agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a one-off intervention, this is a sustained methodological and deliberate programme,\u201d Dr. McIntyre emphasized.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThis administration has made housing a central pillar of national development, because we understand that safe shelter is a human right and a foundation for economic and social advancement.”<\/p>\n

Moreover, Dr. McIntyre pointed out that when speaking of development in Dominica, \u201cwe are not speaking about abstract concepts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are talking about families having a safe place to sleep at night.\u00a0 We are talking about mothers no longer worrying about the strength of their roofs or the stability of their walls,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cWe are talking about children able to study, \u00a0elders able to live peacefully, \u00a0and individuals able to focus on their goals because their basic need for safe shelter has been met.”<\/p>\n
