Published on February 24, 2026

The Government of Grenada and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) on February 17 convened the launch of the initiative “Scaling-Up Resilient, Green, and Affordable Housing in Grenada” to strengthen the country’s housing sector through resilient and sustainable solutions.

Government officials and stakeholders from development, financial, and housing institutions attended the launch event.

The initiative is part of a wider regional effort in the Eastern Caribbean financed by the Government of Ireland and Agence française de Développement (AFD).

In Grenada, the collaboration supports the Government’s ‘Project 500’ flagship housing intervention.

Grenada’s Minister of Social and Community Development, Housing and Gender Affairs, Gloria Thomas, said, “Through Project 500, the Government of Grenada is taking decisive action to expand access to safe, affordable housing for our people. This partnership with GGGI strengthens that commitment by integrating climate resilience and green building principles into our housing strategy.”

The regional program provides technical assistance in Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, reinforcing capacity to advance housing resilience while promoting sustainable green growth.
