This important event comes in implementation of the directives of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince and Prime Minister - may God protect him - and as part of his generous donation of one billion riyals from his own funds to support the “Jood Housing” initiative, which is supervised by the National Development Housing Foundation “Sakan”.
Enhancing quality of life and achieving the goals of Vision 2030
This achievement represents a pivotal step in the context of national efforts to increase the rate of homeownership among citizens, which is one of the main objectives of the housing program within the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. Non-profit sector initiatives, such as “Jood Housing”, play an integral role with government efforts to provide sustainable housing solutions for the most needy groups, thus enhancing the social and economic stability of Saudi families.
In accordance with the royal directives, the "Sakan" Foundation ensured the completion of these high-quality housing projects within a record time of no more than 12 months. The projects were executed using national expertise and companies, adhering to the highest technical specifications and quality of life standards, reflecting the wise leadership's aspirations to provide a safe and dignified residential environment for beneficiaries.
