Six hundred low, moderate and middle-income persons residing on the East Coast of Demerara received house lots at Block D Pln. De Endragt, as the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA) closed the curtains on its ‘Dream Realised’ Housing Drive for the year 2022. The Housing Drive was held at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC) yesterday.
A release from the CHPA said that Housing and Water Minister, Collin Croal stated that this final exercise will push the Ministry over its 10,000 goal for the year, and peg overall allocations from August 2020 to December 2022 to more than 20,000. This the Minister said is another example of the government delivering on its promise to reduce application backlogs and provide affordable housing options. Of the total allocations, close to 5,000 persons from the East Coast of Demerara benefitted. Additionally, on the East Coast of Demerara some $10 billion has been invested in first-phase infrastructure at La Bonne Intention (LBI), La Reconnaissance, Mon Repos, Annandale, Vigilance, Strathspey, Bladen Hall, Foulis and Cummings Lodge, the release said.
