KARACHI: The Sindh government has completed the construction of more than one million houses for flood-affected families in 24 districts under the Sindh Peoples Housing for Flood Affectees (SPHF) programme.
In a statement on Tuesday, Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said providing permanent and safe housing to families displaced by the devastating 2022 floods remained a key priority of the provincial government.
Memon said the rehabilitation initiative had been pursued on the directives of Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, with the government prioritising permanent housing for affected communities. Khairpur has the highest record with 167,379 units completed.
Sharjeel said ownership rights to the newly constructed houses were being granted to women, describing the initiative as an important measure to strengthen their economic security, protection and empowerment. The housing programme had also generated employment for local labourers, masons and skilled workers, while stimulating economic activity in rural areas.
The minister said the government was using a modern monitoring system to verify beneficiaries and oversee construction quality, ensuring that assistance reached deserving families.
He reiterated that no deserving flood-affected family would be left without a permanent home, adding that the government’s rehabilitation efforts would continue until all affected families were adequately resettled.
