Kenyans who seek to acquire affordable houses can breathe a sigh of relief after the National Assembly approved several changes to the Affordable Housing regulations in a move aimed at streamlining the project.
The National Assembly on Thursday, August 14, approved the Affordable Housing Regulations of 2025, which propose several reforms in how Kenyans acquire houses.
The new regulations introduce new amendments to the Affordable Housing Regulations of 2024 and focus on increasing access to government houses and addressing the shortage of affordable housing, particularly in urban areas.
Among the reforms are the slashing of the affordable housing deposits from the previous 10 per cent to 5 per cent in a push to make the houses accessible to the low-income-earning Kenyans.
