The ministry explained that the number of families that lived in their first home during June reached 12,004 Saudi families, bringing the total number of families that lived in their first home since the beginning of the year until the end of June to more than 63,000 families.

Total number of subsidized housing contracts for beneficiaries
She noted that the total number of subsidized housing contracts for beneficiaries since the launch of the “Skeni” program in 2017 until the end of June 2026 has increased to 1,046,890 contracts, reflecting the continued impact of the program in enhancing ownership opportunities and facilitating the journey of Saudi families in obtaining housing.
The ministry confirmed that these results are an extension of the efforts made by the housing system to provide diverse housing and financing solutions, improve the efficiency of the services provided to beneficiaries, and accelerate the procedures for property ownership in conjunction with financial institutions and real estate developers.
She added that the “Skeni” program continues to offer a number of housing options that include ready-built units, units under construction within the sales projects on the map, self-construction, and residential land, allowing beneficiaries to choose the most suitable housing solution for their needs and capabilities. She reported that housing projects implemented in partnership with real estate developers contribute to increasing the housing supply and developing integrated communities that include facilities, services, and open spaces, which enhances the quality of life and provides vital and sustainable housing environments.
