More than 100,000 people in Morocco are now living in better housing conditions thanks to a government support scheme that helps citizens buy homes directly.
A total of 101,521 people with low and middle incomes have benefited from the direct housing aid programme, a senior official told parliament.
Secretary of State for Housing Adib Benbrahim said the scheme has received 263,000 applications from 214,000 people. Around 193,000 applicants were found to be eligible.
He said the programme is mainly supporting the middle class, who make up 60% of beneficiaries. Women account for 47%, while people under 40 represent 52%. Moroccans living abroad also make up a significant share at 24%.
The system replaces an older model where the state supported developers to build social housing. Now, individuals receive direct financial help and can choose their own home on the market.
Officials say the process is handled through a digital platform. People can check if they qualify using their national ID, and get confirmation within a week. Other steps, including sale agreements, are completed under fixed deadlines.
Benbrahim also said the number of subsidised homes rose by 6.7% in 2025 to 99,000 units. The total value of properties bought under the scheme has passed 41 billion dirhams, with the state contributing about 8 billion, roughly 20%.
He added the programme is part of wider efforts, alongside earlier housing plans, to help reduce informal settlements over time.
