| Service Description |
| This service allows citizens to open a governmental housing welfare file. In application of the Minister of the State for Housing Affairs Decree No. (564) of 1993 on the housing welfare system, housing welfare (parcels, houses and apartments for Kuwaiti families) is provided based on the precedence of requests registered at the Public Authority for Housing Welfare and the applicants' intents. After the Board of Directors' approval, the minister will issue a resolution on the terms, rules, regulations and procedures required to register the requests for all types of the housing welfare, to transfer from a type to another, and to express the intent to receive a housing welfare. By way of exception from the provisions of the first clause, the Public Authority for Housing Welfare provides the suitable house for the Kuwaiti disabled wife who is married to a non-Kuwaiti and is the mother of his children as a beneficiary, pursuant to the terms and regulations stated in the resolution of the Board of Directors. |
