Government to implement 'wait list' for housing allocation

The government has decided to create a 'waiting list' for people based on their need for housing, instead of selecting eligible recipients for every social housing scheme separately.

While addressing the Petition Committee of the Parliament, Minister of Housing Dr. Ali Haidar said that the current administration was seeking to amend the existing law to establish a waiting list. The committee conducted its meeting regarding a petition filed against the Gedhoruveriyaa social housing scheme, of which the recipients were announced around the final days of former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih's administration.
