The Ministry of Housing on Tuesday launched a new Foundation Programme to help house lot allottees in the Leonora and Meten-Meer-Zorg Housing Schemes begin construction of their homes.

Speaking at the launch, Minister of Housing Collin Croal said the initiative forms part of the government’s commitment to move beyond simply allocating house lots by providing practical support that enables more Guyanese to become homeowners.

He noted that while the public often sees the final handover of homes and house lots, significant work goes into preparing housing schemes, including subsidising land, installing utilities and developing road networks.
