Community Awareness on Home Owner Driven Housing Construction Programme.
NBRO identified 1962 families living in high risk landslide prone areas of Kegalle district. These families have been earmarked for resettlement. Most of the direct victims will be given houses constructed by donors to reduce the burden on the victims and in the Home Owner Driven Housing Programme, two sub-options will be offered to beneficiaries to select one.
In the first option, a land plot of approximately 10 perches will be provided from already identified lands and the beneficiary will be allocated Rs 1.2 Mn in cash to build the resilient core house. In the second option, the beneficiery will be allowed to build their house on their own land and an additional Rs. 0.4 Mn over the Rs. 1.2 Mn will be given as an incentive. Guidelines on these resettlement options have been formulated by NBRO for the benefit of authorities concerned and the beneficieries of the Home Owner Driven Housing Programme.
