Guyana Releases 8K Acres to Tackle Housing Backlog | Guyana News

Guyana’s Lands and Surveys Commission is unleashing 8,000 acres of land nationwide to tackle the housing crisis—except in Region Four, the most populous and backlog-heavy area. This land, not for sale but transferred to the Housing Ministry, fuels a national goal of building 40,000 new homes annually. With over 81,000 pending applications—many from just the last five years—this move is critical. Meanwhile, the Commission is digitizing operations, upgrading tech, training staff, and securing systems to boost efficiency. Already, 90,000 survey plans are online for remote access, setting the stage for a smarter, faster, and more integrated land management system to support Guyana’s growth.
