Minister of Housing Issues a Decision to Amend Certain Provisions of the Housing Care Regulations

The ministerial decision comes to implement the proposal submitted by the Women’s Housing Committee, which the committee prepared after studying the situation of beneficiaries of government-rented housing. The study concluded that it is necessary to update beneficiaries’ data to ensure that housing services are provided to their rightful recipients, and to reinforce the principles of justice and transparency in the processing of rental housing applications and related decisions.

The Public Authority for Housing Welfare clarified that the new article stipulates: “It is a condition for the continuation of applications for government-rented housing that applicants update the documents and data specified by the Authority within 90 days from the date of its announcement to that effect; otherwise, the Authority may cancel the application and remove it from its records without prior notice or warning.”

The Authority also noted that the decision takes effect from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette.
