The Sugar Industry Labour Welfare Committee (SILWC) Act, Ch 64:05 was established to provide proper housing solutions for sugar workers and cane farmers to raise their standard of living.

Since its establishment, SILWC has assisted the farmers and workers with the construction of approximately fourteen thousand homes over the years, thereby creating vibrant communities across Trinidad. As such, SILWC is one of the largest land owners in T&T with twenty-four housing developments within its portfolio, which are maintained according to the ordinances of the respective Regional and Municipal Corporations.

SILWC is also responsible for processing Home Improvement Grants and Subsidies on behalf of the Line Ministry.
