The Egyptian Ministry of Housing and Utilities, represented by the Social Housing Fund and Real Estate Finance Support, is currently accepting applications for the "Housing for All Egyptians 9" rental housing program. The program is open to citizens with disabilities until September 27, 2026, and will be open to all citizens, including those with disabilities, from September 28, 2026, to October 28, 2026.

To ensure the acceptance of their applications, prospective applicants must submit several key documents. These include a photocopy of a valid national ID card for the applicant and their spouse, if applicable. Additionally, applicants must provide a certificate proving their annual or monthly net income, stamped, signed, and dated by their employer, including details of their work address.

Further documentation is required to verify additional sources of income, such as agricultural or real estate properties, exceptional pensions, or other financial assets that generate extra income. For government and public sector employees, a certified certificate from their employer detailing their net annual or monthly income is required, provided they have been employed for at least seven months.

For employees in the private sector and companies, a certified certificate from their employer is also required, provided they have been employed for at least seven months. Self-employed individuals, professionals, or those engaged in commercial or handicraft activities must provide documentation of their tax registration and a certificate from a certified accountant detailing their net annual or monthly income.

Specific requirements apply to certain groups, including widows, divorced women, and pensioners. For example, divorced women must provide a copy of their alimony documents, while all applicants must provide a recent utility bill for their current place of residence.

The Ministry of Housing and Utilities has outlined these requirements to ensure a smooth application process for the "Housing for All Egyptians 9" program. Prospective applicants are advised to review the full list of required documents and eligibility criteria before submitting their applications.
