The Namibia Housing Enterprises (NHE) continues to inspire hope among Namibians who have never owned a home by constructing quality, modern housing, especially for low- and middle-income earners.

The Ongwediva Town Council has approved a budget of over N$205 million to improve service provision to the residents.

The budget allocation for 2025/26 prioritises housing, sanitation, land delivery, agriculture, sport, youth empowerment, health, and social welfare, among others.

Kunene Governor Marius Sheya has revived the Build Together Housing programme in Outjo to help address the backlog of over 4,000 residents on the waiting list.

Currently, the most affected and needy homeowners are located in the town's ever-expanding informal settlements.

The National Housing Enterprise (NHE) has reported a revenue increase from N$169 million in 2023 to N$229 million in 2024, a 35% rise, according to its 2023/2024 Annual Report launched at its Annual General Meeting in Windhoek.

The Opuwo Town Council says it made great strides in housing development and service delivery in 2024. 

The Council Support Officer for the Opuwo Town Council, Gebhardt Makono, said the council has so far allocated over 300 housing plots to the Shack Dweller Federation. 

By December 2027, the National Housing Enterprise (NHE) plans to complete the construction of 546 housing units at Katima Mulilo.

The project is expected to address the housing backlog while providing affordable housing. 

Tsumeb Mayor Mathews Hangula says he is pleased with the progress of the servicing of the Nomtsoub extension 9 area, where evicted families from Endombo Hostels will be given first priority to purchase or build houses there.
