Brandford Daniel Kwame Adu<\/strong><\/p>\n

A former president of the Ghana Real Estate Developers Association (GREDA), Brandford Daniel Kwame Adu, has urged government to set up a $100 million seed fund to be used by the association to provide affordable housing.<\/p>\n

Mr. Adu made the call on Tuesday in Accra at the 2017 edition of the GREDA Chief Executive Officers\u2019 (CEOs) conference held at the Alisa Hotel under the theme: \u201cConfronting The Housing Deficit: A Call For Innovation From All Stakeholders In The Housing Industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, it has become necessary for government to establish such a fund to ensure that affordable housing units are provided for the masses.<\/p>\n

He said if established, the fund should be jointly managed by GREDA and a state agency and interest to be charged on loans to be given out to developers from the fund should not exceed 10 percent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an obligation on every government to provide affordable housing for the people it governs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin the period GREDA has been in existence, the houses they have built cannot be compared. But their houses are not affordable because government has no input in them,\u201d he told<\/p>\n

He indicated that \u201cif government wants to build affordable houses, my suggestion is that a fund should be put up.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I wouldn\u2019t say too much but they should put down $100 million as seed money for affordable housing development and team up with GREDA within a period of maybe 24 months, there will be a miracle in housing development,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, government has land banks, all government has to do is to provide services; they should demarcate and put in roads and water,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n
