Another 62 residents from Region Five were yesterday issued Steel and Cement Housing Subsidy vouchers, each valued at $225,000, to support the construction of their homes.
A release from the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA) said that the voucher distribution was led by Minister within the Ministry of Housing and Water, Susan Rodrigues at the Regional Housing Office at Fort Wellington. The release said that Rodrigues emphasized that this initiative, conceptualized by President Irfaan Ali, is designed to alleviate the financial strain on landowners who have the property but face challenges in moving forward with building their homes.
“The goal is to ensure that people move beyond landownership and become homeownership,” said the Minister.
