Yvon Buissereth, the Director General of Public Enterprise Promotion and Housing (EPPLS) ensures that his institution is redoubling its efforts to allow the Haitian population in need to have access to decent housing.

He explains that the EPPLS is currently working on construction projects especially for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Great South https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-21715-haiti-politics-project-to-build-2-000-houses-in-the-great-south.html , recalling that social housing built by EPPLS meets seismic and anticyclonic standards and their unit cost varies between US $ 6,500 and US $ 10,000 (or more). These are spacious, fully equipped homes erected on non-conflicting land.

Beneficiaries, selected from the most needy, repay between 30 and 40% of the total amount spent before becoming the owner.
