Housing policy and strengthening of the HFC
The Housing Finance Corporation has lost its social character due to understaffing, leading to delays in loan processing that frustrate potential borrowers. This issue was highlighted in a recent report, emphasizing the urgent need to address housing as a social issue. AKEL and SEK are calling for the government to strengthen the HFC and implement measures to help middle and lower-income households acquire housing. The state must provide immediate solutions to address the critical housing problem faced by citizens, especially the youth.
