The National Housing Trust (NHT) Home Starter Program

In Jamaica, the National Housing Trust (NHT) Home Starter Program helps people who want to buy or build their first house. If someone has been saving money with the NHT, they can get extra help to pay for the house or the land where they want to build it. This help might come as a grant or a special loan with low interest. For example, if a family wants to buy a small piece of land to build a house, they can use this program to get some of the money they need. Or they might use it to start building their new house. The program makes it easier for families to get their own homes and make their neighborhoods better.
