The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has introduced a pioneering housing scheme designed to offer residential properties to its employees through convenient installment plans. The provincial assembly has given its formal approval to the “Government Servants Housing Foundation Bill,” marking a significant advancement in addressing the accommodation needs of public sector workers. Officials have highlighted that the primary aim of this program is to ensure access to comfortable and secure housing for government staff, both during their tenure and post-retirement. Many employees, particularly those with limited incomes, struggle to afford their own homes. In response, this project aims to make home ownership achievable through structured financial support. Under the provisions of the bill, a modest monthly deduction will be made from employees’ salaries, which will be allocated to a dedicated Housing Foundation Fund. These pooled resources will finance affordable housing projects, enabling participants to acquire houses or plots tailored to their economic circumstances.
