In an effort to fulfill the People's United Party manifesto promise of
immediately addressing the housing needs of Belizeans, minister of
Housing, Hon. Dickie Bradley, has appointed a housing task force to
advise on what is the best way to implement the fulfillment of the
promise.
The task force is being chaired by Ray Fuller, entrepreneur and strategic
planner in housing development. Others in the task force are
vice-chairman Rufus X, a building contractor, member-secretary C. Trench
Sandiford, a housing and planning officer, and members Pepe Garcia,
engineer, and Al Chanona land developer.
According to a press release from the Ministry of Housing, the committee
was appointed to "advise on an appropriate mechanism and procedures to
ensure that the design, construction, assignment and management of
housing projects are fair and able to meet the socio-cultural and
economic requirements of new homeowners."
The specific goal, the release said, is for housing to be provided that
will improve communities, giving families access to community facilities
and employment opportunities. |
