People from low-income families have expressed their concerns regarding housing affordability, accessibility and sustainability during the National Housing Policy consultation.

Residents from Sigatoka and Lautoka came together to express their concerns and ideas on how to improve the housing policies in the country to benefit all.

Some raised that it is tough to secure an affordable home because of the rising cost of housing while others highlighted the need for improved infrastructure and amenities for developments.

The Ministry of Housing says they will take their input into account as they understand the challenges and opportunities people face in the housing sector.

The consultation will be held this afternoon at the Labasa Civic Centre from 4pm to 6pm.
