Bureau of Housing

This bureau is part of the Ministry of the Commons

The Bureau of Housing plans, constructs and improves municipalised and public housing in Vekllei. Housing in Vekllei is negotiated, purchased and leased at a municipal level, and so most new homes are designed and constructed by the civil service through architects and construction agents. The Bureau of Housing coordinates this process at different levels, and also receives maintenance requests and complaints as a regulatory body.

The Bureau of Housing may represent the public in court proceedings over ownership. It also employs investigators to determine stewardship of land and its current use. The bureau is also partly responsible for integration of migrant communities into Vekllei cities, by mixing cultural groups through programmes designed to incentivise multicultural neighbourhoods.
