It is being delivered by the Montserrat Land Development Authority in the Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Housing and the Environment.

The Programme Management Office posted photos of one of the latest homes to receive the upgrades on its Facebook page on 5 March.

They included window replacement, removal of galvanised sheet roofing and replacement with shingle roof, external modifications and painting.

“As a result, the home has improved structural integrity and lifespan, and now offers a more secure and enjoyable space for its residents,” the post said.
