Press ReleaseWhat began as an initiative to make homes safer and more accessible for persons with disabilities has evolved into a first-of-its-kind employment initiative after Minister of Urban Renewal and Community Relations, the Hon. Wayde Watson, commended the Ministry for creating opportunities that empower persons with disabilities to participate fully in the nation’s development.
