A new home for Christmas

Prime Minister Andrew Holness (left) and Member of Parliament for Manchester North Western Mikael Phillips assist beneficiary of the Government’s New Social Housing Programme (NSHP), 69-year-old Tesselyn Roach, to cut the ribbon to her new three-bedroom home in Free Town district on Friday.

Five deserving families who lived in substandard conditions received brand new homes just in time for Christmas. Holness officially handed over keys to the units which were built under the NSHP.
