47 per cent of 50,000 house lots went to women, 90 per cent to low-income families 

The government has exceeded its target to deliver 50,000 house lots promised in its 2020 manifesto, with single women, young people, and low-income families among the main beneficiaries.

Of the total allocations, 47 per cent have gone to single women, and 54 per cent have been granted to young Guyanese aged 21 to 35, providing them with the opportunity to take their first step towards homeownership.

Notably, 90 per cent of the over 50,000 lots have been designated for low-income families, emphasising the administration’s commitment to providing affordable housing and improving the living standards of all Guyanese.

Minister within the Ministry of Housing and Water, Susan Rodrigues, provided the update at the launch of Building Expo 2025, slated to be held at the Providence National Stadium from 14 to 17 August. (DPI)
