under the leadership of Maryam Nawaz. The main purpose of this program is to provide affordable homes to low-income families who do not have their own houses.
This initiative shows the government’s strong commitment to improving people’s lives by helping them get safe and secure homes.
Program Details
Under this scheme, the government plans to build 100,000 houses and apartments across Punjab. The project will be completed in about 4.5 years and will include both cities and rural areas.
The program mainly focuses on people who:
- Live in rented homes
- Live in poor or informal settlements
- Cannot afford to build their own house
The project is being managed by Punjab Housing and Town Planning Agency, while Housing Urban Development and Public Health Engineering Department is responsible for supervision.
To make the project more effective, the government has introduced three different methods for building and delivering houses.
