Big News for 2025
In the first half of 2025, over Dh1.7 billion in housing support was delivered to 3,027 Emiratis, helping families build, buy, or improve their homes.
This initiative comes under the leadership of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Ruler of Dubai, and is part of the emirate’s long-term vision to strengthen family stability and community life.
What Does This Support Include?
Here’s a simple breakdown of the support packages:
- Housing schemes (1,390 packages worth Dh1.18 billion): Help for citizens to build, purchase, or maintain their homes.
- Housing grants (935 packages worth Dh540 million): Assistance with home construction, repairs, and ownership requests.
- Land grants (695 allocations): Free land provided so families can build suitable homes.
Think of it like this: Imagine you’ve been dreaming of building your family home but can’t cover all the costs. With this program, the government steps in to help with funding, land, or grants, making that dream more achievable.
Why This Matters
According to officials, these packages aren’t just about homes, they’re about creating social and family stability. They also tie into bigger plans like:
- Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan → ensuring the city grows sustainably.
- Dubai Social Agenda 33 → focusing on community well-being and family security.
Dubai’s Bigger Real Estate Vision
This housing push is part of an even bolder plan for Dubai’s property sector. Last year, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed (Crown Prince of Dubai) launched the Real Estate Strategy 2033, which aims to:
- Boost total property transactions to Dh1 trillion by 2033
- Increase real estate’s role in economic growth
- Multiply property portfolio values by 20 times
- Attract more global investors while supporting Emiratis at home
The Bottom Line
Dubai isn’t just building skyscrapers for investors, it’s also making sure Emiratis have strong roots and family homes. With billions in housing support and a trillion-dirham vision for real estate, the city is preparing for a future where both citizens and global investors benefit.
