{Nairobi, 5th February 2026) – Kenyans registered under the Boma Yangu platform (bomayangu.go.ke) have now surpassed the 1 million mark, underscoring strong and growing interest in the affordable housing projects among Kenyans.

The data from Affordable Housing Board indicate that these projects are attractive due to their prime locations within urban areas, provision of infrastructure such as roads, electricity and water developments, as well as essential public services from schools, markets, healthcare and shopping facilities.

Speaking on the milestone, Housing PS Charles Hinga expressed optimism saying, “one million Kenyans committing to own housing units is not a small feat. Kenyans have outgrown pessimism about AHP and are now saving money for their preferred unit through the government-owned portal, Bomayangu.

“This government is setting a historic precedent in housing delivery. While it took 15 years to build 5,000 units in Buruburu, the Mukuru AHP delivered 1,078 units in its first year and successfully handed over 4,500 completed units to new homeowners on 18th December. The estate features a shopping complex, a Level 4 hospital, and an education complex comprising pre-primary, primary, junior, and senior secondary schools.”

PS Hinga said AHP is designed to cater for different income levels where it offers social housing for very low-income households earning up to KSh20,000 per month, affordable housing for those in the low- to middle-income bracket earning between KSh 20,000 and KSh 149,000, and market-rate housing for higher-income earners.

AHP has over 262,913 housing units under construction across 47 counties where 428,000 Kenyans directly work fulltime on the various sites, while another one million workers are currently engaged full-time providing raw materials, accessories and services to the AHP construction sites.
