30,000 Housing Applications Were Rejected For A Variety Of Reasons

07 September 2023 Kuwait

In the past 38 years, the Public Authority for Housing and Welfare has removed and canceled 30,000 housing applications from the waiting list.

There were several factors that influenced this decision, including the violation of family care regulations and the acquisition of real estate loans from Kuwait Credit Bank.

Meanwhile, Khaled Al-Enezi, the head of the Al-Mutla’a Families Committee, told Al-Qabas daily that approximately 100,000 individuals are expected to live in the new city within the next two years.

Since 1985, 30,000 applications have been eliminated. The removal process hinges on specific criteria, such as ownership of existing real estate by the applicant or violations of the institution’s regulations and laws.

Furthermore, it is anticipated that, due to natural population growth until 2033, the number of housing applications will rise to around 60,000, in addition to those already expected.

The Authority emphasizes the importance of expediting project implementations and engaging the private sector through the enactment of the Housing Cities Law to reduce housing waiting lists. They also stress the need for swift legislation concerning real estate developers and real estate financing.

Housing requests from citizens are hindered by the allocation of adequate budgets for project execution and the availability of construction loans and consumer subsidies.

The PAHW has not initiated the steps for implementing housing projects for the upcoming decade, citing their absence from the organization’s plan and a shortage of required budgets. Some of the planned future projects include the cities of Al-Sabriya, the expansion of South Saad Al-Abdullah, Nawaf Al-Ahmad, and Al-Khairan.

On a different note, Khaled Al-Enezi, head of the Al-Mutla’a Residential Committee, revealed that Al-Mutla’a City will significantly contribute to supporting housing services in the country. An estimated 100,000 people are expected to reside in the city over the next two years, following the completion of infrastructure and housing unit construction by citizens.

Al-Enezi commended the project's swift completion, despite its enormity, in a press release. He attributed this success to the diligent efforts of the working teams to meet the stipulated deadlines. Al-Enezi expressed appreciation for the fruitful collaboration between the Public Authority for Housing Welfare and the Chinese company “Gizhouba Group,” emphasizing that it has played a pivotal role in realizing the housing aspirations of citizens and promoting family stability.

He noted that the citizens’ experience in building residential plots proceeded smoothly in recent times, with no significant hindrances encountered in service delivery after the completion of project infrastructure, owing to the high-quality work done on the infrastructure.

Lastly, Al-Enezi considered the contract with the new contractor in "South Saad Al-Abdullah" an achievement in the field of infrastructure, given the contractor's extensive experience in Kuwait's unique conditions. Al-Mutlaa, despite the obstacles and challenges faced, was successfully completed as a result of this experience.
