Thirty-four Lindeners who have prequalified for housing units are now one step closer to receiving the keys to their homes to be constructed shortly.
The Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) will construct 60 single housing units before the end of this year in Amelia’s Ward, Linden. The first phase of the project will entail the construction of 20 single flat housing units and 14 single elevated housing units. These cost $5.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively.
For the single flat units, $5.2M will be expended on the actual structure while $100,000 will cover the cost of the lot. For the single elevated housing units, $6.2M will be spent on constructing the house and $100,000 will go towards the lot.
The Department of Public Information (DPI) interviewed two of the residents who were “both happy for the opportunity.
Nigel Newton, a mechanical engineer with the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) said he was excited to be able to provide a home for his family.
“I am super excited that the Minister has granted us this huge gesture, I have been waiting since I applied in 2013 for my house lot… and from the minute I heard about the core house project, I was super excited about it because I realised that young people especially those who graduated have a hard time starting out especially if it is with a family.”
Abigale Thompson, a registered nurse assigned to the Linden Hospital Complex, applied eight months back and is happy that she persisted. She is a mother of two and encourages young persons like herself to push on and not to give up.
“Don’t give up; apply once you reach the age and you might be selected. It makes me feel honoured to be selected today, to own my own home soon.”
