The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development is working to finalize a list of individuals who are to be granted shelter in 7,000 units under the government’s housing scheme, “Hiyaa”.
This was revealed by the Housing Minister, Aminath Athifa during a meeting of the People’s Majlis Committee on National Development and Heritage on Thursday.
The ministry reiterated commitment to follow through with President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih’s vision to provide housing for a number of individuals under the Hiyaa project.
Currently, the ministry is evaluating whether the individuals in the drafted list currently have any housing units of land.
The work will be completed by the time government offices open and the ministry is currently checking and cross checking data, said the minister.
A committee has also been compiled to determine whether the previous administration of now incarcerated former president Abdulla Yameen had been just in issuing the 7,000 flats.
