NHC Crisis: Rent Backlog Halts Repairs | Barbados News
Description
The National Housing Corporation is drowning in a $20 million debt crisis, with unpaid rent and fees crippling its ability to maintain housing estates — leaving tenants frustrated and lawmakers demanding answers. Every dollar missed means stalled repairs, broken infrastructure, and halted new housing projects. In response, the NHC’s board has rolled out a new debt recovery policy to distinguish between struggling tenants and those who can pay but don’t. Meanwhile, the government is launching a rapid response unit and a new online platform to streamline maintenance requests and keep residents informed — all in a bid to turn the tide before things collapse completely.
