PM Browne Urges Youth to Build Homes and Secure Skills Through Housing Projects

During his address on Antigua and Barbuda’s 44th Independence Day, Prime Minister Gaston Browne emphasized the transformative impact of the Booby Alley Social Housing Project, a significant initiative funded by China. The project is set to deliver 150 two-bedroom condominium units to former residents, with an additional 100 homes planned for Bolans and Barbuda. Browne underscored the broader societal benefits of such projects, urging young citizens to acquire the necessary skills to participate in future developments. He highlighted that these housing initiatives not only address the critical need for shelter but also create employment opportunities, foster financial stability, and pave the way for generational wealth. ‘Each home we build is more than concrete and timber; it is a monument to dignity and belonging,’ Browne remarked, encapsulating the profound significance of the program. The Prime Minister’s speech resonated with a vision of empowerment and progress, positioning housing as a cornerstone of national development and social cohesion.
