Lee Mirman, met last week with Irene Campos, Costa Rican Minister of Housing, cementing their commitment to working together on the Global Social Housing project.
The government of Costa Rica is strongly committed to supporting projects for social housing, backing all donations to projects of this kind with a cast iron guarantee.
The Global Social Housing model addresses the need for homes for some of the more than 40,000 families facing homelessness in Costa Rica, and will vastly reduce costs of providing social assistance for Costa Rica’s government.
Mr Mirman said: “Ms Campos’ help has been invaluable in pushing forward the project. Global Social Housing are thrilled to have the Costa Rica Government’s support in achieving their charitable goals within the country.”
Global Social Housing are ready to begin building, with the Peace Corps on board to manage the new communities, and the backing of the Costa Rica National Mortgage Bank of Housing (BANHVI). Over the last twenty years BANHVI has funded $700 million in housing solutions and has allocated $130 million for social housing developments for 2010.”
