MORE than 50 residents of Mabaruma are set to receive residential house lots at the newly established housing scheme, Tract ‘A’ Mabaruma, as part of the government’s ongoing national housing drive.
The allocation exercise, held at the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) compound, was hosted by the Ministry of Housing and Water through the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA). This initiative marks another milestone in the government’s effort to ensure equitable access to land and housing opportunities for citizens across the country, including hinterland communities.

The Tract ‘A’ scheme in Mabaruma is one of over 90 new housing areas developed since 2020, contributing to the approximately 48,000 house lots distributed nationwide under the leadership of President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali. The initiative forms part of the President’s commitment to providing affordable housing and sustainable community development in every region of Guyana.

Present at the event were several key regional leaders, including Regional Chairman Mr. Brentnol Ashley, Vice-Chairperson Ms. Annansha Peters, Regional Executive Officer Mr. Sewchand, Deputy REO Mr. Shem Cuffy, and His Worship Trevi Leung, Mayor of Mabaruma. Their presence underscored the collaborative approach between central and regional governments to improve the quality of life for residents in Region One.

Beneficiaries expressed appreciation for the opportunity to own a piece of land and build a future for their families, while officials reaffirmed the government’s commitment to transforming lives through housing and infrastructure development.

The CH&PA will continue to roll out similar exercises in other hinterland regions, ensuring that no citizen is left behind in Guyana’s housing revolution.
