National Affordable Housing Policy

The housing sector has largely been neglected by various Governments in Pakistan. If at all it got any attention from the Political Leadership, it never moved beyond mere political rhetoric and slogans. Housing issues in Pakistan made their vocal appearances in the slogan of “Roti, Kapra aur Makan, by Z.A. Bhutto, in Mr. Muhammad Khan Junejo’s “Shelter for Shelterless”, then in the announcement of 10 lacs (One Million Housing) Housing Units/year (total 50 lacs in 5 years) units) by Mr. Yousuf Raza Gilani and then in the announcement of 05 lacs units/year by Mr. Nawaz Sharif. Unfortunately, no one moved beyond political sloganeering, and the delivery was near to nil. Even if some planning and policy work was done at the “drawing table”, it did not move to any execution level by anyone.
