Housing dream takes on nightmarish proportions

It is the dream of many to own their own home  and in Guyana this often entails purchasing a piece of land first through the Central Housing and Planning  Authority (CH&PA), a process that in itself can be a struggle.

“It is so frustrating!” exclaimed a young prospective home owner who is yet to receive the title for her land, even though it has been almost a year since the transaction was completed,  after years of being pushed around.

For potential homeowners, a typical visit to the Ministry of Housing on Brickdam extends to five hours, inclusive of waiting time.
