Kenya's Affordable Housing Programme: From Housing Delivery to Long-Term Asset Performance

Kenya is building affordable housing faster than at any point in its history. Whether it is building a sustainable housing system is a different question, and it is the question this publication examines. The Affordable Housing Programme has reached genuine national scale. More than 1.31 million Kenyans have registered on the Boma Yangu platform, the construction pipeline runs to hundreds of thousands of units across all 47 counties, and the levy that funds it has raised over KES 200 billion since inception. Yet approximately 8,807 units are recorded complete, about 14,219 have been allocated, and the operating framework that will govern those homes for the next thirty years is almost entirely unevidenced in public. Housing delivery creates the physical asset. Effective estate management preserves, operates and enhances the value and functionality of that asset over its lifecycle. The next phase of Kenya's housing programme will be judged less on how many units were built than on whether the estates built remain functional, compliant and financially sustainable a decade from now.
