Affordable Housing for economic transformation and social Inclusion

To address the growing housing challenges, various stakeholders including the Government, have prioritized Affordable Housing as one of their focus areas to ensure that low and middle-income households have access to decent and affordable housing units. The Government’s Affordable Housing Project (AHP) is one of the main development objectives under the third medium term plan (MTP III) of Kenya’s Vision 2030.

To best leverage on sustainable practices by key stakeholders in the affordable housing space and discuss the state of housing in Kenya; KMRC will convene the 3rd Kenya Affordable Housing Conference in November 2023. This Conference will provide opportunities for various key stakeholders in the housing sector to share experiences, take stock of achievements, address practical solutions to address home ownership gaps and recommend sustainable practices for adoption.
