The Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) in Guyana allocated 3,245 house lots across the country during the first six months of 2026, continuing a housing program that began in 2020.
The program has now distributed over 50,000 lots, exceeding the government’s initial goal. Major development occurred in Wismar, Region 10, where infrastructure projects worth $5.5 billion accompanied the allocation of over 1,600 plots, and new housing also appeared in Bartica.
Women benefited significantly from the allocations, receiving 1,547 of the house lots, which represents 47.7 percent of the total. In addition to land, 1,930 women participated in entrepreneurial training programs designed to help them build businesses or increase their household income. The program focused on assisting those with the greatest need, allocating 65 percent of the house lots to low- and moderate-income households.
Middle-income families received 27 percent of the lots, and young professionals received 8 percent, reflecting a strategy to support a broad range of applicants.
