Meet Mr. Christopher Taitt, one of the dedicated small contractors making a huge difference in Mt. Hope through the Housing and Village Improvement Programme (HVIP), led by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and implemented by the Land Settlement Agency (LSA).

Mr. Taitt is part of a growing network of local professionals transforming communities one starter home at a time. For him, this initiative is not just about building houses it’s about empowering people, creating jobs, and offering a real chance at progress.

“It helps me earn my bread, learn to manage a budget, and make sure everyone is comfortable,” he says.

Thanks to committed contractors like Taitt, families are gaining more than just walls and roofs they are gaining security, dignity, and hope.

Let’s celebrate these unsung heroes who are helping to build a better Trinidad and Tobago — one home, one village, one future at a time.

The Honourable Adrian Leonce brought the energy and reminded us all:
From paper to pride, from housing to home—this is how we build stronger communities.

This is only the beginning.
More families, more milestones, more memories to come.
