The Egyptian Social Housing Fund and Real Estate Finance Support announced the start of accepting applications for 2026 rental housing units. This is part of the "Housing for All Egyptians 9" scheme, which offers housing units in new cities and governorates. Applications are open to all citizens, including people with disabilities. The application period began on Monday and will continue until October 28.

The fund allows citizens to apply during the specified period as outlined in the application guidelines, following the rules and regulations of the scheme. The monthly rent for the housing units does not exceed 25% of the applicant's monthly income, with the fund covering the remaining rent as support. This initiative aims to provide affordable housing options for eligible citizens.

According to the fund, the monthly rent for the housing units varies based on the applicant's monthly income. For those with a monthly income of 5,000 Egyptian pounds, the rent is 1,250 pounds. For those with a monthly income of 8,000 pounds, the rent is 2,000 pounds. The rent is 2,500 pounds for those with a monthly income of 10,000 pounds, 3,000 pounds for 12,000 pounds, and 4,000 pounds for 16,000 pounds.

The minimum monthly income required to apply for the 2026 rental housing units is 5,000 Egyptian pounds, while the maximum is 16,000 pounds. The fund's initiative is part of Egypt's efforts to provide affordable housing options for its citizens.

The application process for people with disabilities began on September 20 and concluded on Sunday. The fund's decision to open applications to all citizens aims to provide equal opportunities for those seeking affordable housing. The initiative is expected to benefit a large number of Egyptians.
