$20 Million Dollars to be allocated to Homeowners for Reroofing

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit says an additional XCD $20 million dollars will be approved to assist citizens with the reroofing of their homes. 

He says resources will be given to the Government Housing loan board and AID Bank so that citizens can receive additional assistance towards home repairs. 

He said the funds disbursed towards housing thus far have been from the state’s resources. 

Meantime, Mr. Skerrit said due to lack of tradesmen on island the government has recruited construction teams from various islands in the region.
