Housing is a fundamental human need
The right to housing is embedded in the Constitution of Kenya, which provides that every person has the right to accessible and adequate housing. With Kenya’s growing economy and one of the fastest-growing urbanisation rates in the continent, the demand for housing has never been greater. This platform is intended to achieve the goals of our national housing policies to provide housing for all and bring to bear the right to safe and secure shelter.

Own
Once projects are completed, the allocation process will begin. As a registered member, you will be notified when the allocation process starts.
You will be asked to select a unit and notified of the amount you need to have saved to be eligible for allocation. The allocation process for homes will be done through a fair and transparent process.
The initial eligibility for allocation will depend on several factors such as when you reached the amount of deposit required, family status and other social factors, as well as the demand across various housing categories. Those who do not get an allocation in the first instance will be put on a waiting list to ensure they have priority in subsequent allocations. For private sector projects, allocation will be done according to the terms and conditions of sale.
Under the affordable housing scheme each Kenyan can only benefit once. Therefore, one Kenyan, one home will be enforced.
You can now check your allocation status by dialing the USSD *832#
