330 Kuwaiti women get homes in lottery organized by PAHW

Sheikha Bibi Al-Yousef disclosed that the committee has distributed around 2,000 housing units to Kuwaiti women since its establishment, describing the figure as a significant achievement in the committee’s efforts to address the housing needs of eligible groups. She added that Thursday’s lottery focused on several priority categories, including divorced women, widows, women with disabilities, and those with limited income.

She stated that the committee has reached the stage of processing housing applications submitted in 2017 and 2018, adding that it also considers certain cases in which family circumstances entail expediting procedures for entering the lottery and obtaining a house. She confirmed that the applicable regulations remain unchanged, confirming that the committee extended the period granted to beneficiaries to take actual residence in the housing unit after receiving it from two months to three months, rent-free, in consideration of the circumstances of female citizens. She stressed the importance of beneficiaries occupying their housing units during this period and not leaving them vacant, warning that failure to occupy the unit may result in the withdrawal of the unit and cancellation of the housing benefit. She called on the female citizens to fully cooperate with the committee and respond promptly to the request to update their data.
