Punjab Launches Project to Build 57,000 Affordable Homes for Low-Income Families

The Punjab government has announced an ambitious plan to construct 57,000 affordable homes for low-income families across the province, with ownership available through easy installment plans.

According to the Punjab Housing Department, the project is designed to provide standardized, low-cost housing and will be executed under the department’s supervision.

The government has approved the transfer of state-owned lands to the Punjab Housing and Town Planning Agency to begin construction.

A spokesperson stated,

“This initiative will not only provide affordable housing but also promote sustainable living through solar energy systems and rainwater harvesting.”

The five-year project will be developed in collaboration with the World Bank and the private sector, ensuring global construction standards, transparency, and long-term sustainability.

Officials emphasized that quality control will be maintained at every stage, with homes equipped with all essential amenities to uplift the living standards of deserving families.
