While Junior Minister of Communities Valerie Patterson-Yearwood yesterday presented a “glowing” progress report to the National Assembly on the government’s housing programme, PPP/C member Nigel Dharamlall maintained that shared housing is not what Guyanese want.
Patterson-Yearwood, during her presentation on the government’s proposed 2018 national budget last night, gave a report of the Housing Solutions strategy of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA), which included the development and exhibition of a model village at Perseverance on the East Bank of Demerara.
She reported that since the ministry’s “Housing Solutions and Beyond” exhibition, which consisted of a model village depicting housing options, the ministry has since started construction of 18 two-bedroom bungalow units, 40 flat concrete duplexes, 50 elevated concrete two-bedroom units, 15 flat concrete two-bedroom units and 15 flat concrete three-bedroom units at Perseverance.
