As per Kuwaiti law, every married Kuwaiti couple (defined as the groom
being Kuwaiti) is entitled to a house “Land and Loan”
PAHW manages all steps from designing and planning to constructing and
distributing the homes
Currently, there are ~110,000 applications in the backlog and the average
wait time for a unit is between 10 and 18 years depending on the desired
location
In an effort to clear up the backlog, the Minister of Housing made a
commitment in 2013 to allocate 12,000 units annually. PAHW met this
commitment and allocated 12,030 units in 2014.
