The government says more than 214,000 affordable housing units are currently under construction across the country, as it seeks to address a housing deficit of more than two million units. About 8,800 units had been completed and handed over to buyers by March 2026, while the programme has created more than 1.1 million direct and indirect jobs. The government has also reduced the required deposit from 10 to five per cent and says the programme is intended to make homeownership more accessible, particularly for low-income households
