PRIME Minister Andrew Holness yesterday handed over 52 housing units in Darliston Grove and Shrewsbury in Westmoreland.
Holness presented keys to families for 29 detached units in Darliston Grove and 23 detached units in Shrewsbury.
They are the first set of beneficiaries in the island to receive housing units under the National Housing Trust (NHT) Labour and Small Materials Programme (LSMP).
In his address, the prime minister said the Government is committed to ensuring that every Jamaican has a fair chance of owning his or her own home, and residing in a secure environment.

Holness congratulated the new homeowners, and lauded the NHT on delivering the new houses. He said the agency has been following the Government's mandate to build houses for the hard-working men and women of Jamaica.
“It was in early 2017 that I broke ground at Darliston and Shrewsbury, and I told you that I would be delivering six housing developments, totalling 1,493 houses in the parish of Westmorland under the NHT's four-year housing programme,” the prime minister said.“So, I have to thank the board of the NHT for doing such a wonderful job in ensuring that these projects come to fruition in short order,” he added. more
