Housing Package for UAE Citizens in 2025

In 2025, the UAE Cabinet, under the leadership of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, approved 3,567 housing-related decisions totaling Dh2.54 billion. These decisions, facilitated by the Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme, aim to provide sustainable housing solutions for Emirati citizens. The fourth quarter of 2025 saw 599 approvals valued at Dh478 million.

The 2025 package includes 524 grants worth Dh356.3 million, 623 government housing loans at Dh270.2 million, 32 government housing grants and benefits totaling Dh25.4 million, and 2,388 housing financing decisions worth Dh1.89 billion. The final quarter comprised two presidential grants, 31 government housing loans, eight government housing grants, and 558 housing financing decisions.

This initiative reinforces the UAE government's dedication to family stability and improving citizens' quality of life, addressing the growing housing demands due to population growth and urban development. The Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme, established in 1999, continuously adapts to meet national goals.

These housing decisions support the UAE's Vision 2031, promoting balanced urban growth, economic diversification, and social cohesion. They stimulate related industries and contribute to sustainable development and job creation. Targeted grants and loan schemes benefit families and low-income groups, promoting equitable housing resource distribution.
