The construction of 220 housing units under the Affordable Housing Programme (AHP) in Milimani Estate, Vihiga County, is nearing completion, with the project now 76 percent done.
The initiative, valued at approximately Ksh 536 million, is expected to be finalized by August of this year.
According to County Director of Housing (CDH) Teresia Ooko, the contractor has so far been paid Ksh 343 million for the completed work.
Speaking during the County Development Implementation Management Committee (CDIMC) meeting, Ooko expressed confidence that the contractor would meet the set timelines.
“The contractor has assured us that the project will be completed as scheduled,” said Ooko.
She noted that since the project commenced in September 2023, hundreds of local residents have secured both skilled and unskilled jobs, boosting the local economy.
The housing units will be priced at Sh1 million for a one-bedroom, Ksh 2 million for a two-bedroom, and Ksh 3 million for a three-bedroom.
To acquire a unit, prospective buyers are required to apply via the Boma Yangu website or dial *832# and follow the registration instructions.
Members of the CDIMC recently visited the construction site to inspect the ongoing work and expressed satisfaction with the progress made so far.
