Each home, costing approximately $5 million, features two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the beneficiaries, who also own the land, contributed $100,000 towards the construction of their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the recent recipients, Rupert Alleyne and Shelley Alleyne, expressed their gratitude to the government for their new homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rupert Alleyne shared his experience of living in flood-prone conditions previously and expressed his joy at the prospect of a more stable living environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Housing and Water Minister Collin Croal acknowledged the challenges encountered during the implementation of the project but assured that all identified beneficiaries are on track to receive their homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He emphasized the government&#8217;s commitment to providing adequate housing for all citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the launch of the Core Homes Initiative, a total of 105 houses have been distributed, with 45 of them allocated in the Onderneeming and Lust-en-Rust vicinity alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This initiative signifies a significant step towards improving housing conditions and providing stability for low-income families in Guyana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As these five families settle into their new homes, it serves as a reminder of the government&#8217;s dedication to addressing housing needs and improving the quality of life for all Guyanese citizens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Saskia Warrick Five low-income families residing on the West Bank of Demerara were handed the keys to their new homes on Monday, marking a significant improvement in their living&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":19985,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[365,366,350],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-human-development","category-local-development","category-news"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19984"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19984\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19986,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19984\/revisions\/19986"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
