Low income housing on the cards
Article by
Government is moving ahead with plans to provide housing solutions in low income housing.
Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley, who said Government was set to have a silent revolution in housing, also explained that Barbadians earning between BDS$2000 and $4000 per month, will also have access to affordable housing.
Mottley said in the next few months, the Government would like to announce to Barbadians that plans are being rolled out to make affordable houses, as low as BDS$90 000, available on the market.
“There is a category of persons in this country who does not earn BDS$2000 easily, or even if they do, does not earn it in a sustained way such that the bank or the credit union is going to take comfort in giving them a mortgage.
Project to get middle-income home earners house and land kicks off

Former Christchurch Star photographer John McCombe, regarded as an institution among this country s news snappers, died at his home last week, aged 75. Former colleague Dave Cannan, assisted by several past workmates, compiled this tribute to their old friend . . .
John McCombe was a superb, award-winning photographer. But he wasn t one to attend ceremonies to receive the trophies. And nor did he hang his best photos on the walls of his home. Those spaces were reserved for pictures he admired – but taken by others.
