A stern warning from Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley to the tenants of the Housing Development Corporation (HDC) to pay their rent, or face eviction. The HDC on Monday distributed keys to new homeowners for its Vieux Fort Housing Development in St. James. The Prime Minister said over the past two years the HDC had allocated 2,000 housing units throughout Trinidad. He noted, however, this was a drop in the bucket as tens of thousands of persons remain on the list of applicants for housing units. He issued a warning to those persons fortunate to receive keys from the HDC. The Prime Minister said it was not feasible for Government to assume responsibility of providing State built or State-funded subsidised houses to every citizen in Trinidad and Tobago. He said the average cost of one the HDC units was upwards of half a million dollars and when multiplied by 2,000 units in the past two years, this equaled a lot of money at a time when Government does not have the funds available as before.
