West Coast Demerara : The Housing Ministry today processed 500 house lots for the Recht-Door-Zee Housing Scheme, Region Three at a One Stop Shop exercise at the Hugh Anderson Sports Complex, Pouderoyen.
Seventy two families from several squatting areas had their houselot applications processed along with the victims of two separate fires.
Approximately 740 lots are being developed in the Recht-Door-Zee Phase 2 Housing Scheme, with 200 of these lots identified for a special pilot being implemented under the Government of Guyana, Inter-American Development Bank Second Low Income Settlement (LIS) .
Minister of Housing and Water Irfaan Ali, after the fires at Lombard and Broad Streets and High and Barrack Streets, had visited the scene and met with the victims. At that time he had indicated that the housing ministry would have expedited house lot applications for those affected.
Government is investing approximately $340M in the development of the Recht-Door-Zee Scheme and by the end of the One Stop Shop, the ministry would have only collected $74M, heavily subsidising the cost for the lots by $286M, Minister Ali said.
