Prime Minister Andrew Holness on Friday (October 29) signed a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) , signalling the start of the Denham Town housing project.

Holness during a 2019 visit of Denham Town had promised to expand the housing stock in West Kingston.

The Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation (MEGJC) will have oversight for the construction of the new housing development, which is to be rolled out under the Housing, Opportunity, Production, and Employment Programme (HOPE).

“This morning, we signed a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) for the establishment of a new housing development project called Victoria Palms in Denham Town, West Kingston,” Holness said.

“This initiative also signals to the people of Jamaica that your Government is moving ahead with its commitment towards building 70,000 new housing solutions. We remain committed to improving the housing condition of the country’s poor and indigent population,” he added.
