Before a committee the manager of HDC claimed that there were over 200,000 applicants and only about 9,000 units were planned for distribution by 2015. This means that around 5% of applicants will be met. Ms. John also mentioned that most people do not want an apartment and prefer a house but most of the government lands have been set aside for farming.

The Housing Development Corporation plans to construct more than 9,000 housing units by 2015 and it makes me wonder: Why? Why build more houses if they are not allocating the ones they already have? They also stated that in those 9,000 units is accounted those under construction and under repair in the areas of: La Fortune, Victoria Keys, Vieux Fort, Chaconia Crescent, Mora Heights, Gomez Trace, Fairfield, Cypress Gardens, and Exchange "among others.

Also, apparently the issue with Chaconia Crescent was that they gave the contract to TWO companies in "Error" And led to the suspension of the project and they were garbage chutes in front the houses which did not add to the aesthetics of the development.

The HDC should be more clear on what it is doing with their properties so people in anticipation can be in the know. For instance rather than waste your website telling us how much you are going to do in the future you could put status updates like property x in y location will be ready on z date. If there is a delay then WHY there is a delay should also be published. Doing this will also help HDC direct people for their status.

This is how houses are supposed to be allocated:

Now if it really happens this way I don't know but do MPs really speak of for people in their constituency who need houses?

Yes because most people who go to their MP's for housing do it as an emergency situation so they should be able to get through under the 25%.
