Changjiji-pilot-housing-projectThirty two families in Changjiji, Thimphu, now have ownership of their apartments. The apartments, located near Loselling School, were constructed under a pilot housing project. The agreements of the home ownership between the tenants and National Housing Development Corporation were handed to them, today.

The National Housing Development Corporation (NHDCL) constructed 12 houses with 32 units as a pilot housing project for home ownership with assistance from DAINDA in 2002. The civil servants from lower income groups occupied these flats since December 2005.
