Kenyans have been urged to take advantage
of the initiative as the state reaffirmed its commitment to providing quality
homes for all.
According to the Government Spokesperson, the units will range from Sh640,000 for studio units to Sh1,280,000 for a two-bedroom unit.
The Government urged those interested in
the initiative to visit the official Boma Yangu website, or they can

The Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing
and Urban Development, through a notice, however, noted that the prices displayed on
the platform are provisional and will be reviewed to align with the updated
rates.
“We are happy to announce the launch of the sale of affordable housing units, reaffirming our commitment to providing quality homes for all Kenyans. For any queries or assistance, please
write to [email protected] or
reach us through Huduma Centres Kenya centres countrywide,” said the notice.
Housing PS Charles Hinga had earlier said that over 1,189
affordable housing units had been completed since 2022, with another 139,703
more currently under active construction.
He explained that the comprehensive project
pipeline includes projects for student accommodation with over 128,000 beds
under procurement and over 416,966 units planned for the next three years,
building toward a transformative program to provide affordable homes for Kenyans.
Boma Yangu is a government initiative that offers affordable housing services to
low and middle-income households.
It aims to reduce the gap between
demand and supply for housing in Kenya and provide the main component of a
large framework established towards 200,000 Affordable Houses annually.
For those interested in registration, they
should visit the portal, fill in their personal and identification details, and
