THE Ministry of Housing and Water – Central Housing and Planning Authority says it is currently processing applications made during 2019 and in previous years and is therefore urging those applicants to update their information.

On its Facebook page, the ministry stated that it “wishes to inform all persons who applied on or before 2019 and have received an Acknowledgement Letter, to contact the ministry through the online electronic system so that all applications can be updated and processed.”

It added: “The Ministry has intensified efforts to allocate house lots to applicants once their applications are updated and house lots become available in the respective regions.

All persons who applied for house lots in 2019 and prior years should update their information by visiting the following links: https://Hai.chpa.gov.gy, https://mohw.gov.gy, or https://chpa.gov.gy”.

The ministry also explained that the process is simple, and requires applicants to input their names, date of birth and identification number. Once inserted a notification will be seen indicating whether the application was found or not.

If found, the applicant can move forward and update their information if they need or wish to, and can also change their preference for land or a built housing unit.

When the updated information has been submitted, applicants will receive a message indicating the successful updating of their information and that they will be contacted for an allocation based on availability.

If an application was not found, it means the application did not fall within that date, and the applicant will therefore need to contact the ministry’s housing department on 706-5730 for more information.
