In a move reflecting the deep bond between the leadership and the citizens, and embodying the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's commitment to providing a dignified life for its people, His Royal Highness Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz, Governor of Riyadh Region, presided over the ceremony for handing over ownership documents for housing units to a number of deserving families in the region. This significant event comes as an implementation of the generous donation of one billion riyals from the personal funds of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to support developmental housing initiatives and secure suitable housing for the most vulnerable segments of society.
Leadership support for the housing sector and quality of life
The Governor of Riyadh expressed his deepest gratitude and appreciation to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince, praising their generous directives and unsurprising benevolence, which prioritize ensuring family stability for citizens. His Highness affirmed that the Riyadh region, like other regions of the Kingdom, receives continuous support aimed at raising the quality of life for its residents. He congratulated the beneficiary families and wished them a life filled with happiness and stability in their new homes.
This project is part of a comprehensive development movement in the Kingdom, as the housing sector is one of the most important pillars of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to raise the percentage of citizens owning homes, and enhance the role of the non-profit sector in actively contributing to the gross domestic product, through leading platforms such as “Jood Housing”, which works to consolidate the values of giving and social solidarity.
High operational standards and speed of completion
During the ceremony, Prince Faisal bin Bandar and the attendees viewed a presentation showcasing the implementation phases of the housing projects. These projects were undertaken in accordance with the directives of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to complete these high-quality projects within a record time of no more than 12 months. This initiative was distinguished by its reliance on qualified national talent and companies, thus enhancing local content and supporting the national economy.
The Sakan Foundation has worked diligently to select housing units in the area that meet the highest technical specifications and modern engineering standards, ensuring a safe and sustainable residential environment that fulfills the wise leadership's aspirations for the well-being of citizens. This rapid achievement reflects the integrated roles of government agencies, the third sector, and the private sector in achieving national development goals.
Impact of the initiative on social stability
For his part, Minister of Municipalities and Housing Majid Al-Hogail expressed his gratitude to the Governor of Riyadh for his continuous support and empowerment of the work teams, which contributed to realizing the Crown Prince's aspirations and completing all phases of the project on schedule. These initiatives are of paramount importance not only in providing shelter but also in enhancing the psychological and social stability of the beneficiary families, as housing is the cornerstone of building a stable family capable of contributing to the nation's development.
The delivery of these units represents a link in a continuous chain of tenders and development projects that cover all parts of the Kingdom, confirming that the well-being of the citizen and his housing stability are at the forefront of the priorities of the Saudi leadership, which harnesses all capabilities and resources to serve and develop the human being.
