DRA to construct 100-unit, $20 mil. housing development on Abaco John Michael Clarke.
Through technical assistance from the Bahamas Development Bank (BDB), the Disaster Reconstruction Authority (DRA) is planning to construct a 100-unit housing development to meet the rental needs on Abaco within the next fiscal year.
DRA Chairman John-Michael Clarke said the authority is seeking to build the rental housing development through a public-private partnership at an estimated cost of around $15 to $20 million.
Clarke said the determination was made to develop the rental complex after realizing the high number of residents who were renting, particularly those who worked for the government on the island, when the deadly Category 5 Hurricane Dorian left many of them homeless.
