Engineer Sherif El-Shorbagy, Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, affirmed that the distribution of the new “Housing for All Egyptians 5” brochures for people with disabilities is proceeding smoothly without any issues. This was reported during the initial hours of brochure sales at automated post offices in the cities and governorates included in the initiative.
Availability of Brochures
The Minister emphasized that the brochures are available in large quantities across all announced automated post offices. Detailed addresses of these locations can be accessed through the official website.
Strong Demand for the Initiative
Mai Abdel Hamid, CEO of the Social Housing and Mortgage Finance Support Fund, revealed that the initiative has received significant interest from the public. Within the first few hours, 2,400 citizens purchased brochures, and 140 paid the initial deposit to reserve units. This reflects the high expected demand for the program.
Support and Monitoring Committees
Abdel Hamid announced the formation of an internal monitoring committee within the fund to address any challenges citizens may face during the brochure purchase process. The committee will ensure quick resolutions to maintain smooth access.
Additionally, monitoring teams have been tasked with countering misinformation and rumors circulating on social media and other platforms. Citizens can file complaints regarding the purchase process through the fund’s dedicated complaints management system, accessible online.
Guidance to Applicants
Abdel Hamid assured that there is no need for citizens to rush to post offices, as the priority system of the Social Housing and Mortgage Finance Support Fund determines eligibility for housing units, not the order of brochure purchases. Citizens are advised to stay updated through the fund’s official platforms to access verified information.
The “Housing for All Egyptians 5” initiative reflects the government’s commitment to ensuring affordable housing for all, particularly people with disabilities, by providing seamless and transparent processes for participation.
