Forty-seven people who have been residing at the Public Rental Board Housing in Narere have been given offer letters under the rent-to-own initiative.
The offer letters were handed over to the residents by Housing Minister Maciu Nalumisa.
He told them they will be able to hold ownership titles of the lots given to them if they meet the payment terms.

Widow Roshni Deo, who has lived at the estate for 35 years, says the offer is timely, as she looks forward to finally having a permanent home.
The rent-to-own initiative under the Public Rental Board is part of the government’s broader commitment towards the National Housing Policy and ensuring Fijians have a chance at formal housing.
