Algeria Gate: Algeria is planning a new housing programme comprising 360,000 units for 2027, with the AADL 3 rent-to-own scheme accounting for the largest share, according to figures presented by Minister of Housing, Urban Planning, the City and Land Use Planning Mohamed Tarek Belaribi.
The minister outlined the programme during a presentation before the Finance Committee of the People’s National Assembly (APN) as part of the review of the 2027 Finance Bill.
The proposed programme covers several housing schemes intended to address different needs across the country, including rent-to-own housing, rural housing assistance and public rental housing.
AADL 3 is set to receive 300,000 units, making it the main component of the planned programme. The allocation reflects the importance attached to the scheme amid strong demand from subscribers across Algeria.
Rural housing and social housing included
The 2027 programme also includes 30,000 rural housing assistance grants to support home construction in rural areas and help stabilise rural populations.
In addition, 20,000 plots of land are planned under the social housing subdivision scheme, while 10,000 public rental housing units will be allocated to eligible households under the social housing programme.
These measures form part of a broader approach aimed at addressing housing needs through different mechanisms, taking into account the circumstances of households and regional requirements.
Housing sector funding and ongoing projects
Belaribi also presented financial figures for the sector. As of September 30, recorded financial commitments had reached 248 billion Algerian dinars, against 317 billion dinars in allocated funding.
The figures highlight the financial scale of the housing programme and the resources committed to ongoing projects.
According to the minister’s presentation, the total number of housing units remaining to be completed stood at 1,061,420 as of December 31, 2025, reflecting the considerable volume of construction work still underway.
The planned 2027 programme is expected to add to this workload, with AADL 3 accounting for the bulk of the new units and other schemes continuing to address rural and social housing needs.
The figures were presented as part of the review of the 2027 Finance Bill before the APN’s Finance Committee.
