Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said the government had so far given houses to 260000 families. 

"And there is more to come," the Prime Minister said addressing the opening of a model village in Devpudagama.

The project was carried out under the housing and model village programme carried out by Minister Sajith Premadasa. 

"Ensuring everyone has a home is important part of our plan," Wickremesinghe said, adding that the government's plan was already working.
