ABACO — Prime Minister Philip E. Davis on Friday, September 2, joined Minister of Transport and Housing Jobeth Coleby-Davis in giving assignment letters to residents in Abaco from his administration’s housing programme on the island.
“We are making steady progress in Abaco,” the Prime Minister noted in a post on Facebook. “We have changed the law to facilitate quicker settlement of insurance, banking and other commercial claims.”
The Prime Minister added: We have completed the technical phase of the new Abaco Hurricane Shelter. We have helped people begin to move out of the domes, to cleaner, safer homes. It has not been easy, or perfect, but it is an important step in moving forward. Where the domes stand now, there will soon be new housing, which is so badly needed.
“We have just launched a revamped ‘Homeowner Assistance and Relief Programme’, to provide real, urgent help to people, and do away with the chaos, confusion and unnecessary bureaucracy which came before.”
