The Trinidad and Tobago Mortgage Bank (TTMB) and the Estate Police Association (EPA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at improving access to home ownership and financial empowerment for estate police officers.
The agreement, signed yesterday at TTMB’s head office in Port of Spain, establishes a five-year partnership that will give EPA members access to tailored mortgage packages, project financing for housing developments, and investment opportunities designed to support long-term wealth creation. It also includes financial literacy workshops, home ownership planning sessions, and dedicated liaison support to guide members through the financing process.
TTMB Chief Executive Officer (Ag) Brent Mc Fee said the partnership aligns with the bank’s mandate to promote financial inclusion and build generational wealth. “This partnership reflects our shared vision of building generational wealth, expanding access to home ownership, and creating sustainable development opportunities for those who serve and protect our communities,” he said.
EPA President Deryck Richardson described the MoU as a milestone for members who have long faced barriers in accessing affordable housing finance. “The Estate Police Association is proud to collaborate with TTMB in delivering meaningful financial solutions to our members. This MoU is a step toward greater equity, dignity, and opportunity,” he said.
The MoU will also promote sustainable construction through incentives for projects certified under the Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies (EDGE) programme, encouraging environmentally responsible building practices.
The partnership will be reviewed annually, with provisions for renewal and expansion into binding agreements for specific projects. TTMB said the agreement forms part of its wider effort to promote financial resilience and national development through strategic collaborations with key stakeholders.
