FGEHA housing scheme hits snag
The Green Enclave I, Barakahu project, a collaborative venture between the Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA) and Green Tree, aimed at providing affordable housing for federal government employees, has reportedly come to a standstill. According to the official spokesperson of FGEHA, the contractor attributed the project's stall to rising inflation and escalating construction costs. Launched in 2009 under a 'first-come, first-served' membership drive, Phase I of the project aimed to provide residential plots to federal employees. Consent letters began issuing in April 2015, while computerised balloting held on February 26, 2021, allotted specific plot numbers to the successful applicants, he added. Of a total of 3,282 plots, 3,268 have been allocated to government employees across five categories based on their service gradesfrom Category I (Grades 20-21) to Category V (Grades 1-10). The project spans over 3,375 kanals of land and comprises five designated blocks: A, B, C, D, and E. He added that the development work on this project began in December 2019 and progressed rapidly until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which significantly disrupted construction activities nationwide. By 2022, work on Green Enclave-I had come to a complete halt.
