Families that will be moving in the People’s Community Network Fiji Jittu Estate housing phase 2 will be paying $40,000 over a 12 year period.
Director Semiti Qalowasa says the total cost for making a housing unit is $80,000 and they have subsidized the cost for the families.
Qalowasa says once the $40,000 has been paid the families get the units for themselves.
The weekly payment will be close to $65.
Some of the criteria to apply for the housing unit is an income of less than $16,500, having no other property and are part of an informal settlement in Jittu or nearby settlements in Suva.
He says there is about 70 families that were part of their phase one of the housing.
Meanwhile, Qalowasa says they are now working towards getting accommodation for the five families that lost everything in a fire at the Muslim League Settlement in Nabua earlier this month.
Qalowasa says they have promised these families accommodation but there are some issues regarding electricity and water.
