Second set of Laing Ave residents get grants

The $250,000 Laing Avenue Housing Grant was disbursed to approximately 30 households on Tuesday, a release from the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) said.

The recipients were presented their vouchers at the St. Pius Primary School in Georgetown by the Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal; Chief Executive Officer of the CH&PA,  Sherwyn Greaves; and CH&PA’s Deputy Director of Community Development,  Donell Bess-Bascom.

This complements the initial distribution to sixty families in late January 2024, in line with Vice President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo’s commitment last November to uplift their living standards.
