Eleven moderate-income families on Saturday received the keys to their newly constructed units in Cummings Lodge Housing Scheme, Greater Georgetown, according to the Department of Public Information (DPI).
After waiting for 11 years, DPI said that Travis Bowman, a young father of one, was happy to receive the keys to his new home from Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal and Minister within the Ministry of Housing and Water, Susan Rodrigues.
Bowman, who currently resides with his parents in Mocha Arcadia, East Bank Demarara, said that he applied for a piece of land since 2011, but opted for the government’s turn key homes when he was given the opportunity.
