KUCHING, Nov 9: One hundred affordable housing units will be built under the first phase of the Village Expansion Scheme (SPK) in Samariang, aimed at helping local youth own homes.
In a Sarawak Public Communication Unit (UKAS) report, Samariang incumbent Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali said the project has already secured funding and has an implementation plan, serving as a development initiative that directly benefits residents.
She added that the move is part of the Sarawak government’s efforts to address housing needs, particularly for the younger generation, who need homes at more accessible price points.
“The first phase involves 100 affordable homes specifically for the residents of Samariang, especially our youth, and the project has already received approval for its funding and implementation plan,” she said at the ‘Santai Bersama Wanita Samariang’ event here on Sunday (Nov 8).
