The government is advancing on the construction of 609 new homes specifically designed for public servants in the country.
The announcement was made by the Minister for Works and Housing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, during a press briefing in Accra on Monday, September 30, 2024. "These new housing units are part of our broader efforts to address Ghana's housing deficit, which is currently estimated at 1.8 million units. "Decent housing enriches the lives of our public servants.
It provides them with dignity and enables them to perform their duties effectively," he said.
The construction of these homes are being undertaken under the District Housing Programme, which aims to meet the housing needs of public sector employees, including teachers, nurses, police officers, and other essential workers, particularly those assigned to rural and underserved areas. "Our public servants deserve quality housing that fosters a conducive environment for their work and family life.
