The Renewed Hope Cities and Estate Programme is a nationwide initiative for housing development. The programme, led by the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has an ambition of delivering 100,000 homes across Nigeria, leveraging public-private partnership and utilisation of diverse local content.
Family Homes Funds Limited is playing a critical role in the actualisation of Renewed Hope Cities and Estate Programme, providing funding for the project as the pilot phase kicks off in Abuja where 20,000 of those homes would be built.
Beyond the provision of homes, the programme will generate employment opportunities, stimulate local businesses, and attract investments. According to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, the first phase of the programme comprising 50,000 units will create 1,250,000 direct and indirect construction jobs, in addition to the value chain effects of purchase, supply of building materials, businesses around the construction sites.
