The evolution of the National Housing Corporation and its predecessors played an important role in the provision of housing solutions for needy Barbadians during the period 1936-1973.
A brief description of their respective roles is as follows:

• Deacons
• Belfield
• The Pine - St. Michael
• Clinketts - St. Lucy
• Sugar Workers Housing Loan Fund and the Public Workers Housing Loans Scheme

The above schemes were administered by the Board to facilitate the financing of housing solutions.

The Housing Authority
The role of this institution was as follows:

•   Acquire land for building;
•  Layout new housing estates;
• Erect houses and ancillary buildings;
• Clear slums and redevelop overcrowded areas;
• Lend money for the repair and alteration of existing houses; and
• Let or lease land and building to low income persons.

Urban Development Corporation
This Corporation developed and sold five hundred and ninety eight parcels of land in West Terrace and Oxnards
between 1966 and 1972.

The National Housing Corporation
The new entity, established in 1973, was given the responsibility for managing areas designated as development areas and continuing the activities previously assigned to its predecessors
