Hundreds of potential homeowners yesterday flocked the Perseverance Housing Scheme, on the East Bank of Demerara, to get a glimpse of affordable housing options available at the Housing Solutions 2017 and Beyond Expo, which was opened by the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA).

During the opening ceremony for the four-day expo, Junior Minister of Communities Valerie Adams-Patterson announc-ed that the prices for the house lots in the Persever-ance model village would be reduced to $300,000 for lower income lots, $500,000 for the moderate income lots and $700,00 for the middle-income lots.

She said that the decision to reduce the prices was taken to both assist the exhibitors and ensure that the final prices for the homes would be affordable.
