The applications will be accepted through the New Urban Communities Authority under the "rent-to-own" system and the Social Housing Fund and Real Estate Finance Support. This initiative is part of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's "Housing for All Egyptians 9" program, aimed at providing affordable housing for low-income citizens.
