    BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - THE Government, through its Department of Social Development, is working to alleviate several challenges faced by single parents, especially in the area of housing.

     

    According to Minister of Social Development the Hon. Eugene Hamilton, staff has been “working overtime to assist those persons”.

     

    He made those comments, among others, while at the Government’s August 11, 2016 town hall meeting, where he asked to address the government’s position on the issue.

     

    In fact, the Minister disclosed that persons in that Department have requested housing assistance for single mothers and others who are in dire need of suitable living spaces.

     

    “I can give you an example, there is one who has been placed in a home right now awaiting the construction of homes in September…”

     

    The Minister pointed out that it is not only single mothers that the Department has helped in recent times. He indicated that work has also been done to assist persons living with disabilities in the Federation.

     

    He stated that the Team Unity Government continues to have its doors open to persons living with disabilities, pointing to the fact that they have worked with a number of persons to have work carried out in several sections of Basseterre.
