About the Government’s Aided Self-Help Housing Programme

The Government’s Aided Self-Help Housing Programme is a new concept aimed at empowering persons to manage the construction of their own homes with financial and technical support from the state.This programme will complement the existing Accelerated Housing Programme (Government-subsidised housing) and targets resident citizens without land as well as those with land.

 

Through this strategy:

  • Eligible citizens, without land, will benefit from access to fully developed lots costing 30% of its market value, subsidised mortgages at 2% and 5% interest rates from the Trinidad and Tobago Mortgage Finance Company (TTMF), building contractors, pre-approved house plans, technical assistance and oversight for the construction of their homes.
  • Eligible citizens, with land approved for residential use, will also be able to access subsidised mortgages at 2% and 5% interest rates from the Trinidad and Tobago Mortgage Finance Company (TTMF), building contractors, pre-approved house plans, technical assistance and oversight for the construction of their homes.

 

Beneficiaries will be encouraged to manage the construction process, using their own finances, to ensure their homes are completed within a two (2) year period.
