Nearly 200 homes completed or in progress as NHC secures more land for families in need

The National Housing Corporation (NHC) of Saint Kitts has unveiled ambitious plans to address the housing needs of lower-income families through its Renaissance Project. This initiative is already underway, with nearly 200 homes either completed or in various stages of construction across multiple locations, including Stapleton, Harry Phipps, Ottley’s, and Sandy Point. The NHC has also secured additional land in Gillard’s Meadow, Newton Ground, and Sandy Point to expand its efforts. Davina Shoulette, Assistant Technical Manager at NHC, highlighted the progress at Harry Phipps, where 10 two-bedroom homes are being built by four contractors, with structures at different stages of development. Jonelle Rawlins, NHC’s General Manager, emphasized the corporation’s commitment to meeting its mandate, noting that construction is set to begin soon in newly cleared areas. Rawlins also expressed gratitude to the NHC team for their dedication to raising standards and advancing the project’s vision. With ongoing developments on East Street and West Street, including a four-storey building nearing completion, the NHC is making significant strides in providing affordable housing across the country.
