Cuba needs about half a million homes to provide sufficient housing for its people. Cuba plans to build 14,000 plastic homes a year to help ease a national housing shortage. The program is planned to commence in September, and will use polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from a petrochemical facility to be built with Venezuelan aid at a refinery in Cienfuegos. The machinery to produce the houses will arrive in Cuba next month and are expected to commence production by September, with a daily production of 40 homes measuring 753 square feet each.
