NHT Introduces New Measures to Boost Homeownership

Share

The National Housing Trust (NHT) has introduced new policy changes effective July 1 to expand access to affordable homeownership for contributors.

Key measures include a Young Adult Deposit Loan of up to $2 million for contributors aged 18–35, and an increase in housing unit allocation for young adults from 10% to 20%.

Public-sector workers will also benefit from reduced interest rates in selected developments.

Additionally, eligible homeowners can now access a second NHT loan after five years instead of seven, while a strengthened Hurricane Resilience Loan supports home upgrades and safety improvements.

The NHT says the reforms reflect feedback from contributors and its commitment to improving housing affordability.
