Description
The Carib Territory Housing Program was launched by the Government of Dominica to construct safe, affordable housing for eight local communities. The homes are built in a traditional style and provide amenities, including electricity, water, and sanitation, to residents. While the original project was co-funded by Venezuela, according to the Government of Dominica's Growth and Social Protection Strategy (GSPS) 2012 - 2014, in 2012, China provided 41 additional housing units to the project at a cost of USD $1.4 million. Construction on the project was scheduled to begin at the end of 2011. The Department of Carib Affairs was involved in the implementation of the project.
