“I never dreamed of having a house like”- recipient Janet Spencer
The Central Housing and Planning Authority on Friday handed over the keys to forty-three homes in Sand Creek Region, Nine.
The houses were constructed under the agency’s Sustainable Housing for the Hinterland Programme.
Fifty-four-year-old Janet Spencer, who is one of the beneficiaries, said she will be enjoying her better living conditions.
She recalled that her old home was very uncomfortable during the rainy season because the thatched roof leaked.
“I am satisfied; I never dreamed of having a house like this and I am so happy,” Spencer stated.
Audrey Joseph and Bridget Joseph who are also home beneficiaries shared their relief to be in sturdy structures with proper roofs over their heads.
The project also saw the roofs of seven homes being replaced.
CHPA’s CEO, Lelon Saul told the beneficiaries that the mission of the government is to provide sustainable housing for all Guyanese. The president he reiterated is committed to bridging the gap between the hinterland and the coast.
The Sustainable Housing for the Hinterland Programme is funded by the Inter-American Development Bank at a cost $666.5Million (US$3.1M).
The programme targets 29 communities including satellite villages in Region One and Nine. Sand Creek benefitted from approximately $65Million of that sum.
