The designated Minister of Works and Housing, Freda Prempeh, has said that the government is committed to the implementation of rural housing projects aimed at overcoming the housing deficit in the country.
She made this known during her background investigation by Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Thursday, February 25, 2021.
“The Ministry will collaborate with the Ministry of Local Government and the MMDCE to see what is the best way to obtain more land from our traditional authorities and also what is the best way to take advantage of local materials in their various districts and districts to start implementing rural housing projects, which will go a long way toward reducing the housing deficit.
“We always focus on the formal sector, public servants, public servants and organized groups when it comes to housing, but what about farmers and workers in rural communities? Where do they rest their heads at the end of the day? ”
Ghana’s housing deficit now exceeds two million despite an annual supply of 40,000 homes.
The demand for housing units is set at about 70,000 units per year.
Ghana’s housing deficit has been largely attributed to land tenure systems, high population growth, and rural to urban migration.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had previously indicated that his government is working to address the country’s housing deficit.
