Since 1999, when the newly minted Stadum team embraced its mandate to breathe new life into the downtrodden neighbourhood, East Village’s transformation has been nothing short of remarkable.
The National Housing Development Authority has given special attention as its prime objective to assist the communities which face housing problem throughout the island. Our institution has implemented various housing development programmes during the last three decades. Under these programmes, NHDA was able to provide permanent houses to a large number of people sland wide. These programmes were implemented under various development projects as per the requirements of those periods.
The National Housing Development Authority strived to implement various housing development programmes targeting the poor families, who lived in estate line rooms, rural low income families and urban low income families as well.
At present, under the guidance of Hon. Minister of Housing and Construction, a special attention is focused on solving the acute housing problems of low income families, island wide. In this connection, initiatives have been taken to implement number of housing programmes, targeting the low income families who do not have a permanent house or permanent income source.
The range of housing units of housing programmes starts with minimum facilities of a bed room, kitchen, and toilet. The necessary guidance and advice is be given to construct the basic house step by step.
An adequate house for every family in a habitable environment.
NHDA is to promote, facilitate and coordinate on a national scale the provision of shelter requirements for fellow members of our society, particularly those in low income groups, lacking means to acquire a house and which results in the betterment of their social well being and economic prospects.
