The Ministry of Housing and Water received almost 15,000 new applications for house lots last year, according to Minister Susan Rodrigues.
During the 2023 Budget debate in Parliament yesterday, Rodrigues disclosed that the Central Housing and Planning Authority received approximately 14,974 new applications for house lots of which 10,763 were from persons between the ages of 21 to 39.
“This shows tremendous confidence in our housing programme. Our young people are saying to us: we believe that the government has a good plan; we have seen evidence of the government delivering on this plan and we are submitting our application in the full confidence of knowing that we will receive our house,” Rodrigues said.
