Introduction

In a bold move toward ensuring “Housing for All”, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has officially launched the Apni Zameen Apna Ghar Program, a landmark initiative to provide free 3-marla residential plots to poor and homeless citizens across Punjab. This visionary project aims to uplift the underprivileged by giving them access to secure land ownership, an essential step toward breaking the cycle of poverty.

Executed by the Punjab Housing & Town Planning Agency, with administrative support from the Housing, Urban Development & Public Health Engineering Department (HUD&PHED), this program promises transformative change for thousands across the province.

🏠 What is the Apni Zameen Apna Ghar Program?

The Apni Zameen Apna Ghar Program is a social welfare housing initiative designed to grant free residential plots to low-income and homeless families in Punjab. The program is a major step toward economic and social inclusion, turning dreams of homeownership into reality for those who’ve long lived without a permanent shelter.

This initiative reflects CM Maryam Nawaz’s deep-rooted commitment to social justice, targeting one of the most pressing issues in the region: housing insecurity.
