Thirteen thousand houses for needy in Colombo

Thirteen thousand new houses are being built for low income families and slum dwellers in Colombo and the suburbs under the Samata Niwasak - Hisata Sevanak programme of the Mahinda Chinthanaya policy framework, said Construction, Engineering Services, Housing and Common Amenities Deputy Minister Lasantha Alagiyawanna in parliament yesterday.

The houses constructed under the first phase will be handed over to the needy by August, he said.

The cost of each house would be Rs 3 million. The full ownership of the housing unit with a deed, will be provided for them, he said.

Meanwhile, plans are afoot to complete the construction of 20,000 housing units for slum dwellers and low income families by the year end. The deputy minister said the government has allocated Rs 1,790 million from 2011 to construct 20 flats comprising 40,000 housing units in Colombo and the suburbs to solve the housing problem of slum dwellers in the Colombo city. Construction work on ten flats has commenced while work on one flat has been completed.
