The Malawi Housing Corporation (MHC) has unveiled its ambitious plan to erect a staggering 250,000 housing units over the course of the next decade. Board Chairperson, Justin Dzonzi, revealed this groundbreaking initiative in Blantyre, indicating that the comprehensive strategy has been in the pipeline since 2020.

“The ambitious project will see the construction of  250 000 houses using new technologies in the following ten years.

“To achieve this, the Corporation will gradually implement an urban regeneration process that will see the demolition of all houses in areas like old Naperi and Nkolokosa in Blantye, Falls Estate and Area 18 in Lilongwe and Chasefu in Mzuzu for instance,” said Dzonzi.

MHC’s  Technical Director, Omar Chisi, says the plan seeks to maximise land use and meet the current housing demand.
