Egypt’s 2026/27 development plan, budgeted at approximately 3.7 trillion EGP, continues to drive a massive affordable-housing push while scaling up health, education, and social protection spending. The Ministry of Housing has expanded several initiatives, most notably the “Housing for All Egyptians” program. Recent developments include the announcement of the 2026 program offering fully finished apartments between 75 and 90 square meters, with mortgage repayment terms extending up to 20–30 years. To expand unit supply, the Social Housing Fund has initiated a partnership with the private sector; the first projects involving apartments of at least 90 square meters are expected to launch before the end of the year. Rental and rent-to-own schemes are scaling up significantly. In August 2026, the Ministry announced the launch of approximately 5,000 fully completed housing units under a rent-to-own scheme across 25 new cities. Following this, the Social Housing and Mortgage Finance Fund launched the “Housing for All Egyptians 9” initiative, providing 15,000 rental units ranging from 75 to 100 square meters across various provinces, new cities, and the “Decent Life” initiative. Applications for citizens with disabilities opened on September 6, 2026, with general applications commencing on September 28, 2026. Eligibility requires applicants to be Egyptian citizens aged 21 to 35, with monthly net family income limits between 5,000 and 16,000 EGP for governorate units and 8,000 to 16,000 EGP for new cities. In late October 2026, the Ministry announced a one-week extension for the “Housing for All Egyptians 9” rental applications, setting a new deadline of November 8, 2026, to allow citizens time to pay insurance deposits. ~~Additionally, construction is progressing in Capital Gardens City on 729~~ To support the initiative, the Social Housing and Mortgage Finance Fund has partnered with 13 real estate developers to implement 13 residential ~~buildings, totaling 17,496 finished 90-square-meter units.~~ projects in new cities.
