MORE than 15,000 families from the low-income group are expected to get their own houses at 79 low-cost housing projects in Pahang in the next five years.
State Housing and Growth Centre committee chairman Datuk Mohd Soffi Abdul Razak said the State Government had submitted plans to build 15,950 low-cost units under the Ninth Malaysia Plan.

He said six of the housing projects would be developed here while another 15 would be in Pekan; Lipis (10); Maran (nine); Temerloh, Bera, Jerantut and Raub (seven each); Bentong (five); Rompin (four) and Cameron Highlands (two).

"We have yet to estimate the cost as we are still waiting for the final say from the Federal agencies," he said, adding that the units would be reasonably priced.
