GuySuco to release lands for housing – to enable CH&PA to meet its obligation

Mar 05, 2015 News

The Ministry of Housing and Water’s, Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) has approached the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuco) for the release of lands, to meet housing needs across the country.
This was revealed by Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS) Dr. Roger Luncheon today, during his weekly media briefing at the Office of the President.
The HPS pointed out that whilst there are many development achievements by the People’s Progressive Party/Civic administration over its years in office, none can touch its achievement in the housing development.
Nevertheless, the CH&PA has made it clear, that whilst access to land is not threatening the housing drive, the needs are unmet. “Every day there are complaints: we have applied and we are waiting,” the HPS noted.
Even with the One Stop Shops, he explained, there is a backlog “in no mean order and land is necessary for a developmental task, that is unquestionably benefitting Guyanese from all walks of life.”
With the efforts of the administration’s response to the housing drive, he explained that whilst GuySuco has available lands, this could be made available for the CH&PA. This would then enable it to discharge the housing drive and obligations, across the whole of Guyana, including the hinterland.
The reach out to GuySuco is a means to obtain available lands for consideration so that the CH&PA would meet its obligation in this issue, the HPS declared.
Under the PPPC Administration about 100,000 Guyanese families have received house lots in several regions including Regions Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight and Ten. On these areas developed for housing purposes, the government has spent huge amounts of money for infrastructural development, and the lots are also subsidised.
