Housing Minister: Payments begin for all applicants, including disabled

Engineer Sherif El-Sherbiny, Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, announced that Tuesday, August 5, 2025, marks the beginning of down payment and administrative fee submissions for citizens applying to reserve housing units under the second phase of the presidential initiative “Housing for All Egyptians 7,” targeting low- and middle-income groups. Payments are being accepted through automated post offices across all cities and governorates where the offered units are located.

El-Sherbiny confirmed that Monday, August 4, was the final day allocated exclusively for applicants with disabilities to submit their payments. However, they are still eligible to complete payment during the general application period, which remains open to all citizens until its official end.

The Minister emphasized that applicants may continue paying registration fees and downloading the terms and conditions booklet via the Digital Egypt platform (https://digital.gov.eg) throughout the entire application period.

Ms. Mai Abdel Hamid, CEO of the Social Housing and Mortgage Finance Fund (SHMFF), reported a strong response to the second offering of the initiative, with 152,122 citizens having downloaded the application booklet as of the latest figures.

Abdel Hamid urged interested applicants to thoroughly review the descriptions of each booklet available on the Digital Egypt platform to select the option most suitable for their eligibility and preferences.

Breakdown of Application Booklets:

Booklet 1 – “Housing for All Egyptians (7): Under-Construction Governorates – General”:

Designed for low-income applicants across governorates where units are still under construction (scheduled for delivery within 36 months), including: Beheira, New Valley, Dakahlia, Minya, Marsa Matrouh, Damietta, and the Red Sea.

Booklet 2 – “Housing for All Egyptians (7): Governorates and Previous Applicants”:

Open to all citizens. It includes ready-to-deliver units in the governorates of Aswan, Beni Suef, Assiut, Luxor, Giza, Fayoum, Menoufia, Minya, and Qena.

In Damietta, the offering is limited to prior applicants from Shata (eighth offering) and Ezbet El-Burg (Housing for All Egyptians 3).

In Hurghada, applications are limited to those who previously applied in the same city (tenth offering).

Note: Units in Damietta and the Red Sea governorates are still under construction and expected to be delivered within 36 months.

Booklet 3 – “Housing for All Egyptians (7): New Cities and Governorates”:

Reserved for former applicants of the “Housing for All Egyptians 5” offering who were deemed ineligible or outside the priority list—provided they have not previously benefited from housing support or owned a residential unit and have already withdrawn their initial down payment.

Abdel Hamid added that citizens with questions or technical issues should contact the Digital Egypt platform’s 24/7 support line at 15999.
