Labour regards housing as a basic human need. It was Labour who even when faced with significant fiscal limitations created a housing revolution in our Federation. Between 1995 and 2015 over 5000 families had their lives transformed when they became new homeowners. We intend to carry on in our reputation as “the housing solutions party”. Labour will build 2000 hurricane resistant homes with upgraded NextGen amenities such as renewable energy. We will ensure the SKN Building Code is compliant with modern disaster mitigation standards and maintain the standard of decent affordable homes. All housing projects will have adequate green spaces, roads, drains, sewage systems, solid waste disposal, underground electrical lines and “Good Neighbour Rules”. Financial incentives will be provided for homeowners to retrofit dwelling homes and businesses with mosquito screens, sturdy shutters, water catchment and solar panels. With our growing population people need housing and affordable apartments are rare. Labour will ensure the National Housing Corporation waiting lists and deliveries of affordable homes are be expedited to assist low income and middle-income families with achieving their dreams of becoming a homeowner. Labour is ready to resume its programme of ensuring that all households are sturdy, comfortable and affordable
