Health Minister Dr. Kenneth Darroux  has confirmed that 1.8 million dollars has been allocated for housing within the petite Savanne constituency.

Dr. Darroux said while his constituency had a slow start in construction post Maria due to the unavailability of material, there has been tremendous support lately from the private sector and others in helping to address some of the critical housing needs of the people in his constituency.

Doctor Darroux says while there may be a few issues surrounding the reconstitution of houses for the people of the Petite Savanne constituency he would like to urge residents to be patient and tolerant while the process unfolds.
