The Government is looking to use data from the 2022 Population and Housing Census to ascertain and more effectively address the shelter needs of Jamaica’s most vulnerable citizens. This, by further streamlining provisions under the New Social Housing Programme (NSHP), Prime Minister, the Most Hon. Andrew Holness, has said. He was speaking during Wednesday’s (August 10) launch of the census, at the AC Marriott Kingston Hotel. Mr. Holness said there is an «obvious» need to provide social housing for persons in the lowest living conditions. He noted that while the NSHP is a popular programme that is «serving a need», budgeting for it has proven challenging because, «we really don’t know how many such persons [needing social housing] we have in the society.
