Assessments have been completed on more than 75 per cent of the houses damaged by Hurricane Elsa earlier this month.However, Government’s progress in rebuilding homes is being hindered by a lack of paperwork showing ownership of land.That was explained by Minister of Housing, Lands and Maintenance Dr William Duguid as he gave an update on the headway being made into rebuilding and repairing the hundreds of homes that were damaged when the hurricane passed on July 2.He said while Government continued to push ahead with completing repairs, in some cases they could not do so for some homes that were significantly damaged and had to be completely rebuilt. The Housing Minister said some homeowners have not been able to prove they are the rightful owners of the lands on which the house is to be reconstructed.
