Who Pays for Housing Aid
A parliamentary proposal calls for abolishing the five-year waiting period for receiving the housing allowance and granting eligible families 100 dinars a month as soon as their applications are approved—up to 6,000 dinars over the first five years. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning estimates the additional cost at around 18 million dinars in the first year, raising the housing-allowance budget from 57 million to 75 million. If funded through additional spending, the cost would fall on the general budget and could push the projected 2026 deficit from 1.08 billion to 1.10 billion dinars. The article warns that obligations could accumulate as new beneficiaries join the program, and notes that the same amount could help provide 1,000 to 1,500 housing services. This leaves policymakers weighing support for families during the wait against accelerating permanent housing solutions.
