MONROVIA, September 16 (LINA) - The Mayor of the Monrovia City Corporation (MCC), Clara Doe Mvogo, has disclosed that the MCC and the National Housing Authority (NHA) are trying to relocate more than 200 families recently displaced by sea erosion in West Point.
Mayor Mvogo said government is trying to find a place for people who have decided to leave West Point immediately as their houses were swept away by the sea and have nowhere to stay.
She explained that houses have been built in Brewerville and Marshall for them.
The MCC Mayor made the disclosure Monday in an interview with the Liberia News Agency shortly after a mass meeting the two institutions held with victims of the recent sea erosion. The meeting was held at the Monrovia City Hall.
She indicated that the housing units in Brewerville, outside Monrovia, and Marshall in Margibi County are not intended to relocate people who have been displaced and are willing to be relocated to these two places.
She pointed out that this offer is the immediate help that government intends to give house owners and tenants who have been displaced in West Point to have better dwellings with the help of the NHA and other partners.
Mayor Mvogo emphasized that the housing units will be subsidized by government depending on the income of those who will occupy these houses which are two-room and three-room apartments.
She added that a school, market and hospital will also be built for tenants of these structures so that they can live in comfort.
