105 households in Cuvu Settlement in Sigatoka will receive their long-awaited lease titles in July after due processes are done with the Ministry of Housing.

The Ministry of Housing says this marks a significant milestone with greater security and ownership of their homes.

They say by providing lease titles to the Cuvu Settlement residents, the Fiji Government is not only fulfilling its commitment to secure land tenure but also empowering individuals and families to build a brighter future.

They say that to ensure accessibility and inclusivity, application letters will be hand-delivered directly to each household within the settlement from this Saturday.

The Ministry further says this approach is done to eliminate potential barriers faced by residents who may lack access to online resources or traditional communication channels.

They say they will be establishing a temporary base in Cuvu for two weekends to provide direct support in completing and collecting application forms.

They say Ministry representatives will be readily available to guide applicants through the process, answer questions, and receive completed forms on-site and upon registration, applicants will be provided with a copy of their form for their reference.

The Ministry says they have a transparent process that ensures fairness and adherence to established criteria outlined in the Lot Allocation Policy.

Successful applicants will then receive official offer letters in July 2024, marking a pivotal moment in their journey towards securing land ownership.

The Coalition Government through the Ministry of Housing will continue to explore opportunities to enhance home ownership through the provision of affordable, decent, and safe housing for all citizens. The Ministry is working closely with the Ministry of Lands and Mineral Resources, ITaukei Land Trust Board, Water Authority of Fiji, Fiji Roads Authority, and other stakeholders to assist vulnerable and informal communities with the provision of better roads, efficient and effective utility services and home ownership.
