Twenty families from the Broad and Lombard streets area were last week presented with keys to their new homes as part of a Relocation and Resettlement project.
The $36 million project which was a collaborative effort between the Central Housing & Planning Authority (CH&PA) and Food for the Poor (FFTP) was officially launched in June 2019, sometime after the residents of the squatting area were promised relocation.
At a ceremony which was held at the Prospect, East Bank Demerara location where the new homes were constructed, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the CH&PA, Lelon Saul, noted that the first phase of the “Broad and Lombard Streets Relocation and Resettlement Project” officially commenced in June 2019, with the two entities signing a Memorandum of Understanding.
