The construction of housing for seven thousand people made homeless by flooding caused by Tropical Storm Noel will cost an estimated two billion pesos, according to figures from the National Urban Affairs Council (CONAU). The budget is for building small houses costing US$8,000 each and occupying just 30m2 of land. According to Diario Libre, the houses can be expanded upwards, giving a total living area of 45m2. While all the details are not yet finalized, the Conau will be meeting with the National Housing Institute (INVI) and the Ministry of the Environment to reach a consensus about precise the locations for these housing units.
