GOVERNMENT HAS COME UP with a plan to help some prospective homeowners move into their new accommodation even though the legal process is incomplete.
Minister of Housing and Lands Denis Kellman (below) revealed yesterday that people who had entered agreements to purchase homes from the state-owned National Housing Corporation (NHC) would be given the option to rent that home from the NHC for a fee of $500 per month until all the legal documents were ready. 
He said this was a better option than allowing the homes to remain unoccupied until the lengthy legal process was concluded.
The St Lucy Member of Parliament told the House of Assembly this was part of his ministry’s efforts to be innovative at a time when funds were scarce. (GE)
