Kenya’s Affordable Housing Program Gains Momentum as Machakos Project Completes
More than 800,000 Kenyans have registered on the government’s Boma Yangu website by June 2025, marking unprecedented demand for affordable housing nationwide. The digital platform serves as the primary gateway for citizens seeking homeownership opportunities under Kenya’s Affordable Housing Programme (AHP).
The newly completed Boma Yangu Machakos project represents a significant milestone in the government’s ambitious housing initiative. This development adds crucial housing stock to the growing portfolio of affordable homes being delivered across the country.
Registration data released at the end of June 2025 reveals surging public interest in the program. The 800,000-strong registration figure demonstrates widespread enthusiasm for homeownership among Kenyan citizens, particularly those previously excluded from traditional housing markets.
The Affordable Housing Programme forms a cornerstone of Kenya’s development agenda, targeting middle and low-income earners. The Boma Yangu platform streamlines the application process, allowing prospective homeowners to register online and track their applications digitally.
The Machakos project completion signals progress in the government’s commitment to deliver affordable housing units nationwide. This development provides essential housing options for residents in Machakos County and surrounding areas.
The program’s success, evidenced by the substantial registration numbers, indicates strong public confidence in the government’s housing delivery mechanisms. As more projects reach completion, the initiative continues addressing Kenya’s significant housing deficit while promoting homeownership accessibility.
