This financial support exceeds 1.725 billion dirhams, aimed at enhancing the welfare of its citizens. The offerings encompass 1,390 housing solutions valued at 1.184 billion dirhams for construction, maintenance, and home purchases.

Among the total, there are 935 housing grants amounting to 540.3 million dirhams for maintenance, construction, and property acquisition. Additionally, 695 land grants have been introduced to further empower citizens in securing suitable housing options as part of this integrated support system.
Leadership and Vision for Housing
Acting Executive Director of the Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment, Mohammed Hassan Al Shahi, emphasized that these initiatives embody the leadership’s vision of empowering citizens through high-quality housing solutions. He stated, “We are committed to translating the noble directives into tangible results by innovating a flexible and comprehensive housing system that relies on efficiency and service quality, thus contributing to enhanced family and social stability.”
