Morocco’s Housing Aid Program Reaches Over 55,500 Beneficiaries as of July 9

with over 55,500 beneficiaries recorded as of July 9, according to the Ministry of National Territory Planning, Urban Planning, Housing, and City Policy. The program is part of a broader government strategy aimed at improving access to decent, affordable housing while boosting regional development and economic inclusion.

A ministry spokesperson stated:

“This initiative reflects Morocco’s commitment to equitable territorial development and social justice. By facilitating access to homeownership for low- and middle-income families, we are laying the foundation for more stable and resilient communities.”

The housing aid program provides direct financial support to eligible Moroccan citizens seeking to purchase their first home. Subsidies range between MAD 70,000 and MAD 100,000 (approximately $7,000 to $10,000 USD), depending on family income and the value of the housing unit. The government has emphasized that these grants are non-repayable and designed to close the affordability gap in both urban and rural areas.

A centralized digital platform, launched in December 2023, allows applicants to register, track, and complete their subsidy requests with minimal administrative delay. To date, the platform has received more than 180,000 applications, underscoring the program’s popularity and wide reach.

The initiative is expected to contribute not only to improved living standards, but also to the revitalization of the national real estate sector, particularly in regions historically underserved by housing investments. It supports the development of new housing stock aligned with urban planning, environmental standards, and energy efficiency goals.

While the highest number of beneficiaries has been recorded in the regions of Casablanca-Settat, Rabat-Salé-Kénitra, and Marrakech-Safi, the Ministry notes a growing trend of uptake in Oriental, Souss-Massa, and Béni Mellal-Khénifra—indicating expanding geographic equity.

The government aims to exceed 80,000 beneficiaries by the end of 2025, with further enhancements to the program scheduled, including simplified eligibility rules, greater promotion in rural provinces, and closer partnerships with local authorities and housing developers.

The housing aid initiative forms part of Morocco’s larger national strategy to strengthen social protection, reduce economic vulnerability, and ensure inclusive growth in alignment with the country’s New Development Model 2035.
