The Tunisian government has announced plans to launch two new location-accession projects in the governorate of Sousse in 2027. These projects are part of a presidential program aimed at facilitating access to housing for low- and middle-income households. The projects were presented by the President and CEO of the National Real Estate Society of Tunisia for the Center during a working session held on Saturday at the Sousse governorate headquarters.

The first project will be located in the Olympic quarter of Sousse Jawhara and will be built on a residential land owned by the National Real Estate Society. The tender for the project, to be carried out under the "turnkey" formula, is expected to be launched in the first quarter of 2027. The second project will be built in the Enfidha delegation, on a state-owned residential land. The tender for this project will be launched in the third quarter of 2027.

In addition to these new projects, the 2026 location-accession program is already underway in the region. On August 5, 2026, the construction of 14 collective housing units in the Hached quarter of Sousse Jawhara began. Another project in Sidi Abdelhamid, which plans to build 30 housing units, is currently in the offer evaluation stage. These projects aim to provide decent housing for low- and middle-income households.

The working session was attended by Sousse Governor Sofiane Tanfouri, who emphasized the need to support the implementation of the presidential location-accession program. He stressed the importance of strengthening the social role of the state and ensuring that low- and middle-income households have access to decent housing. Tanfouri also called for better coordination between the various structures involved and for efforts to resolve any difficulties that may hinder the implementation of location-accession projects in the region.

The location-accession program is designed to respond to the demands of citizens with low and middle incomes and to facilitate their access to housing that meets their needs. The program is part of a broader effort to promote decent housing and improve the quality of life for Tunisian citizens. By providing affordable housing options, the government aims to reduce the housing shortage and promote social stability.

The National Real Estate Society of Tunisia for the Center plays a key role in the implementation of the location-accession program. The society is responsible for managing and developing residential lands and for overseeing the construction of housing projects. Through its efforts, the society aims to provide affordable housing options for low- and middle-income households and to promote decent housing in Tunisia.

The announcement of the two new location-accession projects in Sousse is a positive step towards addressing the housing needs of low- and middle-income households in the region. The projects are expected to provide decent housing options for hundreds of families and to contribute to the overall development of the region. Key initiatives like these demonstrate the government's commitment to promoting social stability and improving the quality of life for its citizens.
