Members not living in cyclone affected areas can apply for Village or Housing Assistance to assist relatives- FNPF

The Fiji National Provident Fund says the Board approved $2000 maximum withdrawal per household for TC Yasa relief is an immediate relief to assist members during this recovery period and affected members can also apply for the FNPF Village or Urban Housing assistance for quick repair or rebuilding purposes.

They say members not residing in the affected areas or want to assist relatives can apply for Village or Urban Housing assistance.

FNPF teams will be in Qawa Primary, Labasa from 9.30am today and at Batinikama Secondary School from 10am while people in Korowiri, Benau and Tovata can contact their Advisory Councilor for confirmation of venue.

The team will also be in Savusavu.

FNPF says the application form will be issued and collected by the team on the same day.

They say members applying are requested to have a copy of their valid ID ready.

FNPF says they are liaising directly with the Village Headman and Advisory Councilors, so members are requested to do the same and do not visit the FNPF Office as FNPF will visit their village or settlement.
