Keys were handed over yesterday to four families who are now owners of Core Homes.
The handing over was done during an engagement with Core Home Support beneficiaries to update them on the progress of their homes. The Deputy Director of Community Development at the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA), Donell Bess-Bascom, and engineers from the CH&PA Projects Department were also present.
A release from the CH&PA said that each of these newly constructed homes features two bedrooms, a kitchen, and washroom facilities, providing comfortable living spaces for the beneficiaries. Funded by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), this initiative requires beneficiaries to be landowners and to contribute $100,000 towards the construction costs, the release said.
The recipients of these homes were Charles Henry-Lot 351, Section D, Turkeyen; Claud Cyrus-Lot 720, Section D, Turkeyen; Pauline Nedd-Parcel 3102, Pattensen, Turkeyen (Section B); and Belinda Ali-Lot 601, Haslington Housing Scheme, East Coast Demerara.
The release said that Minister of Housing and Water Collin Croal emphasized the transformative impact of the programme on the lives of beneficiaries. With yesterday’s distribution, the first 100 homes out of a planned 300 have now been handed over. Additionally, the Minister announced that approximately thirty more homes for other beneficiaries present at the engagement are expected to be completed by the end of May.
