Premier Wu Den-yih again pushed Sunday for speedy construction of permanent housing for people displaced by Typhoon Morakot last August. 'We hope all the permanent houses now under construction can be completed before the end of July so that Morakot victims will be resettled in those houses by the storm's first anniversary, ' Wu said while inspecting a housing construction project on Majia Farm in southern Taiwan's Pingtung County. The Majia housing project will accommodate aboriginal households from the county's Haocha and Dashe villages, both of which were destroyed by Morakot- triggered floodwaters and mudslides. The premier expressed his gratitude for the cooperation of Majia residents in providing their land for the housing project and for the sponsorship of Christian charity World Vision Taiwan. The charity's executive director, Hank Du, said that 319 households have been approved for settlement in the Majia Farm housing project to date. According to the premier, only those who filed applications before March 15 were eligible to be resettled in the permanent houses to be built there. A model house has been completed, while other parts of the 30-hectare land are being prepared for construction, Du said. Though completing construction of more than 300 houses at a high quality level in four months is a big challenge for his organization, Du said his organization will do its utmost to live up to the premier's expectations. Typhoon survivors from Haucha and Dashe villages will be hired to build their new homes under an 'employment substitution relief' program, Du said, and the new houses will be environmentally friendly buildings, with each unit expected to help reduce carbon emissions by 40 tons per year. In addition to residential houses, nine churches and one elementary school will be built on Majia Farm. A center dedicated to developing local agricultural specialties will also be established to help residents start up new businesses and earn a living on their own in the future.
