Parliamentary Staff Sensitized on Homeownership Under Affordable Housing Fund

Parliamentary staff have received fresh guidance on pathways to homeownership following a joint initiative by the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) and the State Department for Housing aimed at enhancing access to the Affordable Housing Fund (AHF).

The initiative was launched through a webinar that brought together staff from Parliament and officials from the government’s Affordable Housing Programme. The session focused on explaining eligibility criteria, financing options, and application procedures for housing units under the fund.

To complement the virtual engagement, organizers have established a help desk at Parliament Buildings where staff can receive in-person assistance on registration and application processes. The desk will operate throughout the week, offering tailored support to interested employees.

Among those who participated in the sensitization forum were Clerk of the National Assembly Samuel Njoroge, Clerk of the Senate Jeremiah Nyegenye, and Director General of Parliamentary Joint Services Clement Nyenderie.

Officials from the Affordable Housing Board are expected to remain on-site throughout the week to conduct one-on-one consultations. These sessions will also cover key aspects of the Affordable Housing Levy and provide further clarity on how staff can benefit from the government’s housing programme.

The initiative is part of broader efforts to increase uptake of affordable housing opportunities among public servants and ensure that parliamentary staff are well-informed on the options available to them.
