WILLEMSTAD - The completion of four hundred building permit files has brought in an additional one million guilders for the government. This is revealed in the 2023 annual report of the Ministry of Traffic, Transportation, and Spatial Planning (VVRP).

The homes are constructed in collaboration with the 'Kas Awor program,' enabling individuals with minimal income to become homeowners.
