The Minister said the Ministry’s Advisory Committee will be opened to receive written proposals from Members on housing policy and invited them to participate in discussions. He also stated that, because multiple ministries implement housing programmes, the Government is considering a steering committee with representatives from all relevant ministries and institutions to coordinate policy, targets, and beneficiary selection under unified oversight.
