The Ministry of Housing is reminding the public to be alert for phone calls from a person or persons claiming to be the Minister of Housing & Water, Collin Croal, on the premise of allocating house lots to single parents in the Providence, Lusignan, and Dairy areas for $100,000.
Persons are being asked to send money to an MMG Account which is falsely being linked to the Office of the First Lady, Ms. Arya Ali, under the pretext of payment for the house lot.
The Ministry wanted to make it clear that no Land allocation is made directly from the Minister’s office. All allocations are made by the Central Housing & Planning Authority (CH&PA) using the prescribed procedures established by the agency.
Applications and interviews are done at the regional offices located at Vreed-en-Hoop RDC Compound Region Three, Anna Regina, RDC Compound, Region Two, Fort Wellington RDC compound Region Five 5, New Amsterdam, RDC Compound, Region Six, Lethem, Region Nine and Linden, Region Ten.
The Ministry cautioned persons against participating in any unlawful transactions. They recognize that the demand for housing is great and continually growing and it presents an atmosphere for the criminal elements to thrive on persons’ gullibility during this period.
The Ministry assures all applicants, that applications will be dealt with in due process as work towards satisfying the objective of adequate housing as a basic human right.
