Housing Support Programs

Housing Program
The Housing Program aims to provide innovative housing solutions and financing options to enable Saudi families to own or benefit from suitable homes that align with their needs and financial capabilities. The program focuses on increasing the supply of housing units by implementing high-quality projects at reasonable costs and within shorter timelines. It also dedicates housing solutions to the most vulnerable groups in society.

The program seeks to enhance the regulatory and legislative environment for the housing sector to boost its economic impact, increase its attractiveness to the private sector, and promote local content development. These efforts include creating job opportunities in the sector and enhancing its contribution to the GDP.
