Ministry working on housing units for senior citizens

The Ministry of Social Development and Human Security is working on projects to build residences for the elderly in Bangkok and its vicinity.

Social Development and Human Security Minister Juti Krairiksh said this move was in line with the ministry's policy to pay attention to the elderly. He said the ministry would cooperate with the National Housing Authority to work on the projects in four provinces, namely Bangkok, Pathum Thani, Nakhon Pathom and Samut Prakarn.

"The ministry aims to build 360 residential units in Pathum Thani's Baan Katanyoo Khlong Luang 1 and 2 projects, 210 units under the Thung Kraphang Hom project in Nakhon Pathom, 30 units in Bangkok under the Suwinthawong project and 530 units in Samut Prakan's Ban Khlong Suan project," he said.

"Also, we will allow the private sector to renovate buildings to support living conditions of the elderly and take care of them under the National Housing Authority and related parties' terms."
