The Launch of ‘Sasti Basti’ Housing Scheme by the Sindh Government – Updates 2024
The Sindh Government has unveiled its latest initiative, the “Sasti Basti” Housing Scheme, designed to provide affordable housing solutions for the underprivileged residents of Sindh who do not own homes. Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah introduced this scheme to enable people to acquire their own homes at a reasonable price. While specific details are yet to be released, eligible families can seek information about the program through the 8171 Program.
Key Highlights of the Sasti Basti Housing Scheme:
The “Sasti Basti” Housing Scheme introduced by the Sindh Government aims to offer economical housing options to the impoverished population of the province. The initiative was announced during the twenty-ninth Governing Body meeting of the Human Settlement Authority, chaired by the advisor to the chief minister for Livestock, Fisheries, and Human Settlement Authority, Najmi Alam.
Bilawal Bhutto’s vision of providing homes to the underprivileged through convenient installment plans led to the inception of the Sasti Basti Housing scheme. The government plans to initiate the construction of numerous houses in the province as part of this program. Najmi Alam emphasized that this project aligns with PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto’s agenda to address housing needs for the underprivileged in Sindh.
Eligibility for Sasti Basti Houses:
The Sasti Basti Housing scheme is specifically for eligible and underprivileged individuals who lack their own homes and struggle with high rental costs. While specific enrollment criteria have yet to be disclosed, eligible individuals who have not registered under the Benazir Kafalat Program can complete their surveys at the BISP Tehsil Office to be considered for this scheme.
Furthermore, only those eligible and in need can apply for the Sasti Basti Housing Scheme, as the government aims to provide relief and housing to those without homes. The exact criteria for enrollment have not been announced yet, but potential recipients may be identified through the 8171 NSER Survey.
Recognition for Housing Initiatives:
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s initiatives, including the Punjab Apna Ghar Apni Chat Scheme, have received praise from Dr. Amjad Saqib, the Founder and Chairman of Akhuwat. These programs aim to provide affordable housing options for the underprivileged who struggle to afford homes through traditional means of income. Initiatives like these are crucial in assisting low-income individuals in achieving homeownership.
Conclusion
The launch of the ‘Sasti Basti’ Housing Scheme by the Sindh Government demonstrates a commitment to offering affordable housing solutions to marginalized families in the province. Under the visionary leadership of Bilawal Bhutto, this initiative will enable those without homes to secure their own properties through accessible installment plans. While specific eligibility criteria are pending, the scheme is poised to make a positive impact on individuals burdened by high rental expenses.
