										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><strong>Riyadh </strong>&#8211; Sakan, the National Developmental Housing Foundation, has announced the start of the first phase of handing over new housing units to beneficiaries across Saudi Arabia.</p>



<p>This milestone marks a significant step forward in expanding access to quality housing and strengthening social stability across the Kingdom.</p>



<p>The handovers are part of the Jood Eskan Initiative, a national program designed to support eligible families and improve overall living standards.</p>



<p>The initiative reflects a broader vision to ensure that homeownership becomes a realistic and sustainable goal for citizens in every region.</p>



<p>The first phase follows direct directives from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, underscoring strong leadership commitment to housing development.</p>



<p>In a notable gesture of personal support, the crown prince donated SR1 billion from his own funds to accelerate the initiative and widen its impact.</p>



<p>This contribution has enabled faster implementation and reinforced the focus on delivering dignified housing to families most in need.</p>



<p>Sakan stated that the current phase represents the beginning of a wider delivery plan covering all regions of Saudi Arabia.</p>



<p>Housing units will be handed over in six structured phases, ensuring orderly distribution and consistent quality across the Kingdom.</p>



<p>The phased approach allows for careful planning while maintaining momentum in meeting housing demand.</p>



<p>Under the crown prince’s directive, all allocated housing projects are to be completed within a maximum period of 12 months.</p>



<p>This timeline reflects an emphasis on efficiency without compromising construction standards, safety, or long-term sustainability.</p>



<p>Sakan has adopted a practical execution strategy to ensure rapid progress and visible developmental outcomes.</p>



<p>The foundation selected ready-built housing units developed by national companies that meet approved technical and quality specifications.</p>



<p>This approach enables immediate delivery while supporting local developers and strengthening the national construction sector.</p>



<p>By relying on trusted national partners, the initiative reinforces domestic capabilities and ensures consistency in housing quality.</p>



<p>To further enhance efficiency, Sakan has introduced a monthly distribution plan linked to regional phases.</p>



<p>Each phase will cover two regions, simplifying logistics and ensuring smoother access for beneficiaries.</p>



<p>This structured rollout is designed to reduce delays and improve the overall experience for families receiving their homes.</p>



<p>The initiative also highlights the role of housing in promoting social cohesion and long-term economic development.</p>



<p>Stable housing contributes to family well-being, educational outcomes, and workforce participation across communities.</p>



<p>Sakan emphasized that development projects targeting eligible families play a critical role in strengthening social resilience.</p>



<p>By providing secure and high-quality homes, the program supports broader national goals related to quality of life.</p>



<p>The first phase has generated optimism among beneficiaries, many of whom have waited years for permanent housing solutions.</p>



<p>For these families, receiving a home represents not just shelter, but dignity, security, and opportunity.</p>



<p>The Jood Eskan Initiative aligns with national development priorities focused on inclusive growth and balanced regional development.</p>



<p>It also demonstrates how public institutions and leadership support can combine to create meaningful social impact.</p>



<p>Sakan’s role as an implementing body highlights the importance of governance, transparency, and accountability in large-scale programs.</p>



<p>Clear timelines, phased delivery, and adherence to standards have been central to the initiative’s design.</p>



<p>As subsequent phases roll out, thousands more families are expected to benefit across urban and rural areas alike.</p>



<p>The nationwide scope ensures that housing support reaches communities beyond major cities.</p>



<p>Through this initiative, the housing sector continues to emerge as a key pillar of national development.</p>



<p>The first phase of handovers sets a strong foundation for future progress and expanded delivery.</p>



<p>It also reinforces confidence in public housing programs as effective tools for social advancement.</p>



<p>Sakan’s announcement signals a renewed commitment to turning policy vision into tangible outcomes.</p>



<p>The initiative stands as a model of how targeted investment can improve lives and strengthen communities.</p>



<p>As families settle into their new homes, the broader impact will be felt across society for years to come.</p>
