Prime Minister Andrew Holness has underscored that the New Social Housing Programme (NSHP) forms a critical part of the Government’s deliberate and strategic approach to fighting crime. The Prime Minister said that this housing thrust, could positively impact children’s learning and resultantly stem the number of youths falling into deviant and criminal behaviour. “The thinking is that if we improve the conditions under which people live, it will lift the general well-being of the society,” said Prime Minister Holness. Prime Minister Holness explained that the houses under the NSHP are built through a process involving beneficiary identification by Members of Parliament, impartial beneficiary selection, legal security of the land, alignment with building codes, and a competitive procurement process. Furthermore, the Prime Minister added that his leadership style of constantly challenging the MEGJC team to modify delivery strategies and improve output should result in the monthly handing over of between four and six houses per constituency
