The Ministry of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities has officially announced the completion of the preliminary priority rankings for applicants of the presidential initiative “Housing for All Egyptians 7” (Sakan Kol El-Masryeen 7). This phase targets low and middle-income citizens seeking residential units.
SMS Notifications for Applicants
Mrs. Mai Abdel Hamid, CEO of the Social Housing and Mortgage Finance Fund, stated that SMS notifications are being dispatched today, January 26, 2026, to all applicants. These messages inform individuals of their preliminary status—whether they fall within the current priority list or outside of it—specifically in projects where the number of applicants exceeds the available units.
-
Priority Projects: In cities where demand is higher than supply, ranking is determined by the initiative’s established criteria.
-
Surplus Projects: For projects with more units than applicants, all qualified individuals are automatically included within the priority list.
Final Review and Eligibility Criteria
The Ministry emphasized that this ranking is preliminary and subject to a rigorous final review process. The final approval or rejection will depend on:
-
Government Database Verification: Ensuring all data provided is accurate.
-
Previous Benefit Check: Confirming the applicant has not previously benefited from or owned state-subsidized housing.
-
Income Compliance: Adherence to the prescribed income brackets for the initiative.
-
Booking Terms: Full compliance with all general conditions outlined in the reservation brochure.
The final results and the schedule for quarterly installment payments for under-construction projects will be announced at a later date.
Alternative Projects and Transfer Opportunities
In cities with significantly high demand, such as Hurghada, the Fund has indicated that it may offer opportunities for applicants to transfer to alternative projects. New developments in these areas are expected to be announced shortly to accommodate as many citizens as possible.
Official Communication Channels
The Ministry of Housing encourages all applicants to stay updated and resolve inquiries through the Social Housing and Mortgage Finance Fund’s official channels.
