Jamaica Builds 268 Homes for Hurricane Victims | Jamaica News
Description
Jamaica is launching a massive $1 billion housing recovery effort to rebuild lives shattered by Hurricane Melissa, with 268 semi-permanent homes set to rise in the hardest-hit regions of Westmoreland and St. Elizabeth. Backed by both local and Chinese funding, the initiative prioritizes speed and fairness—verified by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security—to ensure displaced families get immediate shelter while long-term solutions take shape. Construction crews are already mobilizing, tackling everything from foundations to plumbing, with more procurement underway for Hanover, St. James, and Trelawny as part of a nationwide Shelter Recovery Programme.
