increase the assistance amount provided for a housing unit under the \u201cObata Geyak \u2013 Ratata Hetak\u201d housing program has received the approval of the Cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cObata Geyak \u2013 Ratata Hetak\u201d housing program is being implemented with the aim of reducing the housing problem of the poor or low-income earners and the poverty associated with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the program, one poor or low-income family is identified on priority in each Grama Niladhari Division and assistance is provided based on the progress of the construction to construct\/improve a house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the program, the beneficiary selected must construct a house of at least 550 square feet, and in addition to the assistance amount of Rs. 650,000 provided by the government for this, the remaining amount must be borne by the relevant beneficiary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the beginning of the program, the estimated cost of one house was Rs. 1,147,000, but the cost has now increased to Rs. 1,764,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the selected beneficiaries are unable to afford the remaining amount in addition to the government assistance, the Minister of Urban Development, Construction and Housing had submitted a proposal to increase the government assistance amount currently provided for a housing unit from Rs. 650,000 to Rs. 1,000,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
