Another New Path To Land And Home Ownership.
This NEW Dominica Refrom Party (DRP) program offers citizens a second fair and secure way to access land and housing without the fear of unpredictable costs or speculation. It is built on the simple option one for those who want to start with land alone, and another for those who are ready to move directly into a home.
Option One – The Path Forward: Land Only.
As previously outlined in the Path Forward, New Roots Program citizens will have the opportunity to apply for a piece of land at no cost. This land is intended to be a foundation for families, a place to build a home and cultivate a farm that supports their household needs.
To safeguard the integrity of the program, the land cannot be sold or transferred for a fixed number of years. This ensures the land is used for genuine purposes, not speculation or profit. By protecting this commitment, the program strengthens communities and ensures that every acre is put to work for the benefit of families and future generations.
This approach provides citizens with security, stability, and the ability to plan their future with confidence. It is about building roots, fostering independence, and ensuring that land remains a resource for those who truly need it. ( Read More)
Option Two – The Path Forward: Land And House Package.
For those who wish to move directly into a home, the government will provide land with a house already built on it. Instead of paying the unpredictable rates of private banks, down payments, recipients will make fixed monthly payments directly to the government. These payments are designed to be fair, affordable, and completely transparent. From the very first day, families will know exactly how much they will pay each month, how long the payments will last, and when they will own their home outright.
Security Through Fixed Payments.
A major strength of this program is stability. Payments will never increase, no matter what happens in the wider economy. There are no surprises, no hidden fees, and no sudden changes. This gives families peace of mind and the ability to plan for the future with confidence, knowing that their housing costs are reliable and consistent from beginning to end.
Preventing Speculation And Abuse.
To protect the fairness of the program, strict resale rules wil be put in place. Recipients who receive both land and a house cannot sell or transfer their property until their repayment is complete and a certain amount of required years has pass. If someone must sell early, the government has the first right to purchase the property back. These safeguards ensure that the program benefits those who truly need stability rather than those seeking quick profits.
A Sustainable Program For The Future.
This is not a giveaway, it is a partnership. The government earns only a very small profit on each repayment, just enough to keep the program sustainable. Every repayment made helps fund new land and housing opportunities for the next family. This cycle of fairness ensures that the program continues to grow, creating a lasting impact for generations to come.
Building Stronger Communities.
This program is more than just a path to ownership. It is a foundation for stronger families, stronger neighborhoods, and a stronger nation. By offering security, stability, and fairness, we can create communities where people stay, invest, and thrive. Everyone knows the rules, everyone knows the costs, and everyone has the same chance to succeed.
A Clear Difference
For too long, the people of Dominica have been burdened by the failed housing policies of the Dominica Labour Party and the the Unitd Workers Party. Their programs are slow, inefficient, and filled with red tape. Homeowners are often forced to wait years just to receive their titles, leaving families in uncertainty and without true ownership. And when the homes finally arrive, they are small, restrictive, and built without workable land, offering no space for a garden, farming, or real independence.
Unlike Skerrit an his Dominica Labour Party, we do not use housing and land as political leverage, a tool to hold over your head in exchange for a vote or to force citizens to come begging for what is rightfully theirs. And unlike the Fontaine and his Unitd Workers Party., we do not make empty promises, we always offer a clear and realistic plan.
The NEW Dominica Reform Party (DRP) believes our people deserve better. Our approach is different: secure access to land, clear ownership rules, and the ability for families to build and farm for themselves. We put the power back into the hands of the people, not politicians. Where the old parties only offered dependency and uncertainty, we offer stability, freedom, and a path to genuine self-reliance.
