The Housing Rehabilitation Program works to improve sanitary and living conditions by rehabilitating the homes of low-income families. Its goal is to make these homes safe, healthy, and suitable for dignified human living. The program also provides technical and engineering consultations to individuals and institutions. Priority is given to vulnerable groups, including the elderly, people with disabilities, and families with children. Through these efforts, the center seeks to transform homes into humane environments that help families cope with daily challenges.

The scope of implementation varies based on each household’s needs. Interventions may include rebuilding or upgrading kitchens and sanitary units, improving ventilation, repairing or installing doors and windows, and installing assistive features for the elderly and people with disabilities. These features include medical supports, entrance ramps, and adapted sanitary units. The program’s mission is to enhance living conditions and ensure a safe and healthy environment for poor and needy families by rehabilitating and maintaining their homes and surrounding spaces. This work allows families to live with greater comfort, dignity, and security.

The program also promotes and strengthens charitable initiatives in cooperation with local partners involved in housing rehabilitation. This approach is based on community participation and includes securing raw materials and labor at the lowest possible cost.

Program Goals

  • Develop environmentally sustainable homes that support the foundation of a strong and resilient society.
  • Empower and support family members in overcoming poverty and social marginalization.
  • Rehabilitate and adapt home facilities to create a humane living environment that improves safety, ease of use, independence, and overall well-being.
  • Provide guidance and counseling services alongside housing rehabilitation efforts.

Work Mechanism

  • The program team conducts field visits and interviews to assess housing needs. A social researcher and an engineer evaluate each case, with the engineer preparing a technical assessment. The team then reviews the findings together and prioritizes needs accordingly.
  • Implementation begins through joint efforts between the program team, skilled workers, and family members. All parties work together to carry out the agreed-upon modifications.
  • The program’s role continues after construction is completed. The team follows up with families and provides technical guidance on routine home maintenance to ensure long-term
  • sustainability. Families are also supported in addressing broader challenges, including unemployment, school dropout, and health-related issues.
