The National Housing Development Corporation (NHDC) is a government agency in Jamaica that is responsible for providing affordable housing solutions to Jamaican citizens. It was established in 1990 under the Ministry of Water and Housing. The NHDC's primary objective is to facilitate the development of housing projects across the island, particularly targeting low and middle-income earners who may face challenges in accessing adequate housing.

The NHDC undertakes various initiatives to achieve its goals, including the construction of housing units, development of housing schemes, and implementation of housing finance programs. These initiatives aim to improve the overall housing situation in Jamaica, reduce homelessness, and promote sustainable urban development.

Additionally, the NHDC collaborates with various stakeholders, including government agencies, private developers, financial institutions, and community organizations, to address the housing needs of Jamaicans effectively. Through its efforts, the NHDC plays a crucial role in advancing the government's objectives of providing decent and affordable housing for all citizens.
