KUALA LUMPUR, April 3 (Bernama) -- Dominica Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit recently handed over new homes in the Bellevue Chopin region to another 52 families from the Petite Savanne community on the Caribbean island of Dominica.
This is part of Dominica’s Housing Revolution - an initiative to provide affordable and climate-resilient homes - to support families displaced by the 2015 Storm Erika.
An additional 190 homes are expected to be distributed among the residents from Petite Savanne, followed by another 110 homes dispersed island-wide.
Several thousands of Dominicans will move into new, modern homes this year as part of the larger Housing Revolution, funded entirely by Dominica’s world-leading Citizenship by Investment Programme.
Last December, 38 families from the same community were the first ones to benefit from the resettlement project in Bellevue Chopin.
CS Global Partners is the international legal advisory, mandated by the government to promote the programme worldwide.
Following 2017’s Hurricane Maria, Skerrit pledged to make Dominica the ‘world’s first climate resilient nation’.
The island’s commitment is reinforced by its attention to building sustainable homes that can withstand extreme weather events through its Build Back Better concept.
