In Housing Crisis Part 6, we examine another side of Jamaica’s housing problem, from the hundreds of thousands of properties without registered titles to the growing number of people living on captured land and in vulnerable communities.
The programme explores why getting a land title can be so expensive and complicated, and how the National Land Agency’s Systematic Land Registration Programme aims to help thousands of undocumented landowners formalise their property.
We also look at the stark gap between luxury developments and the realities facing low-income Jamaicans. With some homes costing hundreds of millions of dollars while some workers earn just $6,500 a week, what would it take to make housing genuinely affordable?
The episode also examines government plans for affordable housing, the challenges of building 70,000 housing units, and why lowering construction costs may be critical to expanding homeownership.
Housing Crisis is a TVJ News documentary examining Jamaica’s housing shortage, affordability, land ownership and the challenges facing Jamaicans seeking a place to call home.
Originally aired in 2021.
