Govt to end Imran Khan’s Naya Pakistan Housing Authority

Pakistan to end Imran Khan's Naya Pakistan Housing Authority as new housing policies emerge.

Web Desk: The federal government has announced to repel Imran Khan’s Naya Pakistan Housing Authority, marking a major change in Pakistan’s affordable housing policy.

The move follows the Federal Cabinet’s approval to repeal the NAPHDA Act 2020 and wind up the authority as part of the government’s rightsizing and institutional reform agenda.

The decision could bring an end to one of the most prominent housing initiatives launched during the previous administration.

The Naya Pakistan Housing Authority was established under the NAPHDA Act 2020 during former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s tenure.

The authority was tasked with promoting affordable housing Pakistan by planning, developing, and managing low-cost housing projects for families across the country.

Officials said the decision was made after a detailed review of the authority’s performance.

Following the resignation of its chairman, the government assessed whether the institution should continue or be restructured. After consultations, the Cabinet Committee on Rightsizing recommended its closure.

Despite the repeal move, the government acknowledged the role played by the Imran Khan housing scheme in expanding housing opportunities.

Through the Naya Pakistan Housing Authority, projects were launched in Islamabad, Lahore, Sargodha, Chiniot, Nowshera, and several other cities, with a target of more than 122,507 housing units.

The authority also worked closely with the Akhuwat Foundation and other organizations. Under the Mera Pakistan Mera Ghar initiative, more than 31,000 housing units received financing support, while nearly 28,000 units were developed through partnerships.

In addition, the Mera Pakistan Mera Ghar program helped expand housing finance in Pakistan. By June 2022, commercial banks had disbursed around Rs120,000,000,000 in housing loans, providing thousands of families with access to homeownership opportunities.

Officials insist that support for affordable housing Pakistan will continue despite the closure of the authority.

The government plans to shift its focus to the Prime Minister’s Apna Ghar Programme, which aims to help citizens purchase homes through subsidized loans and financing facilities.

The repeal of the NAPHDA Act 2020 may formally end the Imran Khan housing scheme, but authorities say efforts to improve affordable housing Pakistan will remain a key policy objective.
