Why The affordable housing program is a direct response to Kenya’s housing deficit

The affordable housing program is a direct response to Kenya’s housing deficit of over 2 million units, providing hope to millions previously priced out of home ownership.

The housing program aligns with Vision 2030 goals of urbanization, inclusivity, and poverty reduction.

The program is more than just homes—it’s a powerful engine for economic growth. By 2032, it will have created over 500,000 direct jobs and 1.2 million indirect jobs in construction, manufacturing, and related sectors.

Through the Kenya Mortgage Refinance Company (KMRC), access to affordable home loans projected to grow remarkably—from just 30,000 mortgages in 2022 to over 1.5 million by 2032. A true game-changer for aspiring homeowners across Kenya.

Socially, the AHP has transformed lives—Kenya’s housing deficit expected to drop from over 2M units in 2022 to under 500K by 2032. Formal urban settlements will now house 60% of residents, up from just 40% a decade ago.

Transparent allocation through Boma Yangu and stringent eligibility criteria ensured that deserving Kenyans—not the elite—benefit first. This has restored public trust in government-led housing programs and strengthened citizen confidence in service delivery.
