Improving housing quality in Trinidad & Tobago
In Trinidad and Tobago, from 2011 to 2018, the IDB supported the Neighborhood Upgrading Program, which worked to improve the living and housing conditions for low-income groups in marginal areas. This included basic infrastructure upgrades, housing subsidies, regularizing tenure in informal settlements and strengthening the capacity of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.
