The handing over of the social houses took place Monday morning at the Davy Hill Community Centre.

Speaking at the handing over ceremony, Honourable Housing minister David Osborne highlighted the major milestones that were achieved during the process.

He said that apart from the four houses to the vulnerable families, the project was able to employ at least forty construction works, plus three houses that were declared unfit for human habitation were demolished and replaced with steel-reinforced concrete dwellings
