As part of government’s commitment to provide every Guyanese family with access to homeownership and so raise the level of standard of living, the Ministry of Housing and Water is formulating a comprehensive national housing policy.

Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal, made the disclosure at the Minis-try’s end-of- year press conference yesterday, a Department of Public Information (DPI) release stated.

“This is to ensure that we can raise the level of standard of living for our people. That housing policy, as I speak, is to ensure that persons are able to have safe, affordable and adequate housing in various communities that are serviced by the relevant infrastructure. That is what we want to achieve.”
