DUBAI- The Board of Directors of the Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme approved the names of 500 citizens eligible to receive housing assistance totalling AED486 million, coinciding with Eid al-Fitr.

During the board’s fifth meeting in 2020, Dr. Abdullah bin Mohammed Belhaif Al Nuaimi, Minister of Infrastructure Development and Chairman of the Programme, said that this batch of assistance highlights the programme’s commitment to achieving family stability in the country, in line with the directives of the UAE’s leadership to provide citizens with decent lives and ensure their prosperity and happiness.
