The Kenyan government has kicked off a series of open days across the country inviting citizens to select a unit from the 4,888 units under the Affordable Housing Programme (AHP).
The initiative, part of the government’s efforts to address the housing deficit, will see Kenyans start their home ownership journey by paying a deposit for an identified unit that includes provision of a mortgage facility.
“We would like to invite you all to attend the open days scheduled to take place in Machakos this Saturday( 21st December)and across our 23 other projects countrywide to view the showhouses on site and the various housing units near completion,” said State Department for Housing and Urban Development principal secretary, Mr Charles Hinga
The units at the Machakos Affordable Housing project comprise of 40 one-bedroom units, 60 two-bedroom units and 60 three-bedroom units, with generous green spaces for relaxation and leisure, adequate parking for all homeowners.
So far, the government has a total of 4888 units of different typologies on offer for sale across different parts of the country and plans are at an advanced stage to launch more projects thereby giving more choices of housing units to choose from.
The open days also gives Kenyans a platform to make inquiries about AHP, seek assistance on how to register on the Bomayangu portal as well as how to make payment by instalments for the various units.
The payment option also allows Kenyans to pay for their selected units under a rent-to-own arrangement for up to 25 years. Home owners can also pay off for their select units in a lumpsum.
