UAE: Sharjah Ruler approves Dh335-million housing aid for 431 families
Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, has approved a new batch of housing support for critical cases across the emirate. The initiative is backed by a budget of Dh335 million.
A total of 431 families will benefit from this phase of the housing programme, all of whom fall under urgent housing needs. These include:
133 families currently living in rented accommodations
201 families residing in overcrowded homes shared with relatives
61 families occupying inherited houses
36 families living in structurally unsafe or unfit dwellings
All beneficiaries will receive ready-to-move-in government housing units, with the support being granted in the form housing grants.
This marks the latest in a series of housing initiatives introduced under the Sharjah Ruler's directives to improve the living conditions of the citizens in the emirate.
Earlier this year, on June 9, Sheikh Dr Sultan approved Dh100 million in compensation for owners of old homes in Al Madam who had previously been allocated new residences. He had previously approved a sum of Dh250,000 for each of the 200 owners whose old homes were replaced.
Similarly, on January 21, Sheikh Dr Sultan approved the disbursement of Dh15 million to resolve construction delays affecting 70 government homes for Emirati citizens, following a temporary suspension of the project.
