The State Department of Housing and Urban Development released data detailing the completion status of Affordable Housing units in 2025, revealing a focused effort in specific sites despite less than 300,000 Kenyans being registered to buy the houses by June 2025.
The most significant number of completed units is concentrated in Nairobi at the Mukuru Met Site, which accounts for 1,080 units. This substantial number indicates a prioritisation of addressing the housing deficit within the capital city, where the need is often most pressing.
Outside of Nairobi, the completion numbers are more modest but signal a nationwide distribution strategy. Two major sites, Lurambi Estate in Kakamega and Elburgon Estate in Nakuru, each report the completion of 220 units. These regional projects are key to decentralising the housing initiative and providing affordable homes in major county hubs.
The fourth site listed, Homa Bay Estate in Homa Bay, has the lowest reported number of completions at 110 units.
Collectively, the completed units demonstrate tangible progress in the government's affordable housing agenda across various regions.
The difference in unit counts—with Nairobi having nearly five times the completions of the next highest site—reflects varying construction scales and project timelines.
