The opportunity to obtain suitable housing has become extremely difficult for many categories of Egypt’s society particularly the low-income group where the lack of an integrated housing policy for urban development included integrated programs and projects linking housing and sustainability to deficiency in providing adequate housing. The concept has expanded to include the possibility of achieving housing for economic, social, and urban appropriateness, although housing from of some people feel like, housing as a product or commodity that has material characteristics in terms of price and construction costs only.

Affordable housing is suitable housing for the needs of low-income families that its cost is appropriate to their financial conditions.
