The Antiguan government has approved a new initiative designed to increase the supply of affordable housing across Antigua and Barbuda, with half a million dollars immediately allocated to launch the programme. According to Antigua Observer, Cabinet endorsed the proposal at its most recent meeting.
The initiative was brought forward by Minister of Works and Housing Maria Browne, as reported by Antigua Observer. The programme centres on a land exchange arrangement intended to accelerate the delivery of affordable homes for residents.
The initial allocation of $500,000 signals the government's commitment to moving the programme forward without delay. Full details of the land exchange structure and its implementation timeline were presented to Cabinet alongside the proposal from Minister Browne.
