The Ghanaian government plans to commence construction of social housing projects in 2027, according to the Chief Executive Officer of the National Housing Fund, Prosper Hoetu. Hoetu stated that initial work is underway, with a focus on architectural designs, stakeholder consultations, and the selection of suitable locations for the proposed developments.
The government is committed to ensuring that the houses will be affordable, particularly for households that cannot secure decent accommodation through the conventional housing market. Preliminary work includes determining the scale of the projects and other implementation arrangements, with the final number of houses to be built remaining to be determined after the preparatory phase.
The government is also exploring cost-effective construction methods, such as the pilot District Housing Programme, which uses compressed earth bricks for climate-resilient building.
