Projects
DCLTA projects support affordable housing.
From exploring and initiating land acquisition opportunities to finding cost effective and island-based ways to address government requirements and to creating essentials such as tenancy agreements, DCLTA is actively researching possibilities.
Through generous island donations, in-kind contributions, funding by DCLTA’s partners, countless volunteer hours of those committed to creating affordable housing, DCLTA undertakes projects which support affordable housing.
