MORE than 50 low-income allottees of Block EP, Enterprise, New Scheme, East Coast Demerara were invited to identify their respective residential lot on Saturday, as the Ministry of Housing lot identification exercise continues.

This exercise commenced at the beginning of the year across new housing schemes in the country, and is aimed at increasing the occupancy rate on schemes. Having identified their respective lots, these families can proceed with home construction.

Importantly, these exercises are done in batches, and every allottee will be contacted to participate when their block is ready.

Just on Friday, the first batch of allottees at Golden Grove Block 9 and Block 11, East Bank Demerara was among those who benefitted from the lot identification exercises.
These landowners also fall within the low and moderate income categories. As infrastructure developments advance in the housing scheme, the Central Housing and Planning Authority’s (CH&PA) Surveys Unit will be conducting additional exercises.

Earlier this week, hundreds of allottees within the low, moderate, and middle income brackets were invited to identify and mark their lots.

These happened at Enterprise, Hope, and La Reconnaissance Housing Schemes on the East Coast Demerara, where approximately 160 landowners within these brackets were a part of the identification process.

At La Reconnaissance Housing Scheme on Wednesday, some 120 moderate income allottees participated in the lot identification exercise.

According to the CH&PA, the La Reconnaissance Housing Development boasts over 1,400 residential house lots spanning various income categories.
