Key Highlights of the Scheme

• A total area of 150 kanals will be utilized for the housing scheme, with an estimated cost of Rs 3300 million.
• 1,320 low-cost apartments will be constructed to offer affordable housing options to families in need.
• The scheme addresses the housing shortage in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, empowering citizens to own homes with government support.

Chief Minister Ali Amin Gangapur’s low-cost housing project is part of the broader Naya Pakistan Housing Program, designed to make homeownership more accessible across Pakistan. The scheme in Jalisa stands out for its scale, providing over a thousand apartments with financial subsidies to facilitate ownership.

Eligibility Criteria

The housing scheme caters to individuals and families with a monthly income below Rs 50,000, ensuring financial aid to help them become homeowners affordably. The federal government contributes Rs 3 lakh per apartment, supplemented by a provincial subsidy of Rs 4 million per unit, reducing financial barriers and enabling dream home ownership.

Unique Features of the Low-Cost Apartments

Each apartment spans 780 square feet, offering a compact yet comfortable living space tailored for economically disadvantaged families. These units adhere to modern construction standards, ensuring durability and safety while balancing cost-effectiveness and functionality.

Application Process

Prospective applicants must follow the government’s registration process, providing proof of income to demonstrate eligibility. The application submission will occur through a designated government platform, streamlining the process for families earning less than Rs 50,000 per month.

As of now, the registration process for the Low-Cost Housing Scheme is pending official guidelines from the Government. A dedicated website will soon be launched for online applications, with further information to be provided by the authorities.

Chief Minister’s Sport Complex Project

In addition to the housing scheme, Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has also unveiled a sports complex project in Jalozai. With an estimated cost of Rs 17 crores, the complex will feature top-notch facilities including squash courts, a football ground, artificial tennis and basketball courts, and a 500-meter jogging track. This initiative aims to enhance community infrastructure and promote an active lifestyle among residents.

The 42-kanal central park, which includes 8 kanals dedicated to sports facilities, underscores the commitment to fostering healthy living and creating a vibrant communal space for residents of the housing scheme.
