Gov’t looks to provide short-term loans for potential home owners
7:01 am, Fri January 25, 2013
The Government is looking at instituting a deposit financing scheme to provide short-term loans to persons who are unable to come up with the down payment required to purchase a home.
Dr. Morais Guy, Minister Without Portfolio in the Ministry of Housing, explained that the proposal is for beneficiaries to repay the loan over three to five years.
This will allow them to still manage a mortgage either through the National Housing Trust (NHT) or private companies.
He said the plan is to assist smaller mortgage firm, primarily credit unions.
The proposed deposit financing programme is part of initiatives by the Government to make home ownership easier for average Jamaicans.
