This forms part of Phase II of the Housing and Village Improvement Programme and involves the handing over twenty-nine (29) new starter units to beneficiaries of Rampanalgas who signed up for the programme with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development. In addition, three (3) families were allocated home improvement grants to conduct remedial works on their homes.

This programme is facilitated by the Land Settlement Agency, an agency of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.
