TEHRAN- The head of National Land and Housing Organization of Iran said 48,000 hectares of land have been allocated to the implementation of the National Housing Movement in urban regions, IRNA reported.

“In the National Housing Movement, we have more than 2.6 million housing units under construction or completed, and 560,000 units have been delivered to applicants,” Arsalan Maleki said on Tuesday.

The National Housing Movement is one of the major policies of the 13th government in the housing sector, and according to this policy, the construction of four million residential units is planned in four years.

The National Housing Movement is one of the projects through which the government is trying to help low-income individuals in society become homeowners.

As announced recently by Deputy Transport and Urban Development Minister Hadi Abbasi-Asl, 1,867,719 National Housing Movement units are currently under construction in the cities and villages across the country.

While explaining the performance of the Ministry of Transport and Urban Development in implementing the National Housing Movement plan, the official emphasized the acceleration in implementing the Housing Construction Leap Law to achieve the goals of the 13th government.

In late September, Transport and Urbana Development Minister Mehrdad Bazrpash announced the launching of a program for allocating free land (in the framework of the National Housing Movement) to young couples in order to help them build houses.

The National Housing Movement to construct four million housing units in four years is one of the major plans of the current government in the housing sector.
