Dubai: The UAE Cabinet on Tuesday approved 2,160 new housing applications for Emiratis as part of the Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme.
The initiative, valued at Dh1.68 billion, aims to enhance housing stability and improve the quality of life for Emiratis.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, took to X to announce the approvals, highlighting a concurrent project aimed at streamlining the process for housing assistance.
The project will see cooperation between 24 government and federal agencies to simplify procedures. It is set to reduce the number of entities involved from 11 to one and cut down the required documents for a housing loan approval from 10 to just two.
Sheikh Mohammed expressed gratitude towards the work teams for their dedication to reducing bureaucracy and re-engineering government procedures in order to simplify processes, reduce documentation, and ultimately facilitate the lives of both customers and Emirati citizens.
