The Boma Yangu programme forms part of the government’s affordable housing agenda, aimed at reducing the housing deficit and stimulating employment through construction.

Its central mission is to make home ownership attainable for low- and middle-income earners — a demographic often excluded from traditional housing markets.

Among the key projects is the Mukuru Affordable Housing Project in Nairobi, along with ongoing developments such as Isiolo Township Affordable Housing, Kings Boma Estate in Kiambu, Fairvalley Heights in Nairobi, and Buxton Point in Mombasa.

Prices for the Boma Yangu homes start as low as Sh640,000, making the homes accessible to young professionals and first-time buyers.

Project Name	Location	Starting Price (Sh)	Completion
Mukuru Affordable Housing Project	Nairobi	N/A	2025
Isiolo Township Affordable Housing	Isiolo County	960,000	Ongoing
Kings Boma Estate	Kiambu	1,250,000	Ongoing
Fairvalley Heights	Nairobi	2,150,000	Ongoing
Buxton Point	Mombasa	2,900,000	Ongoing

In addition, construction is underway in Gichugu, Pangani, Makenji, Chepalungu, Lurambi, and Bahati, while more projects are planned in Kikuyu, Thika, Ruiru, Limuru, and Kera.

The Boma Yangu online portal enables Kenyans to register, save, apply for mortgages, and track housing allocations digitally — a process that has made home ownership more transparent and accessible nationwide.

King’s Sapphire – Bondeni, Nakuru

Located in the Bondeni area of Nakuru City, the King’s Sapphire Project exemplifies modern affordable living. With 605 housing units, the development features spacious apartments, convenient amenities, and an inclusive design approach.

Pangani Affordable Housing Project – Nairobi

The Pangani Affordable Housing Project is one of Nairobi’s flagship redevelopments under the Boma Yangu initiative. A collaboration between the Nairobi City County Government and Tecnofin Kenya Ltd, it replaces old estates with modern, high-density apartments.

Unit Type	Size (sqm)	Price (Sh)	Availability
1 Bedroom	24	1 Million	SOLD OUT
2 Bedroom	45	2.5 Million	SOLD OUT
3 Bedroom	60	3 Million	SOLD OUT

The project provides day-care facilities, laundromat, commercial centre, backup generator, and solar lighting.

Described as “a world-class enclave of convenience, affordability and modern living,” Pangani represents a new model of integrated urban housing.

Redevelopment and Urban Renewal

Some upcoming Boma Yangu projects focus on upgrading informal settlements, such as Kibera Soweto East Zone B and Mariguini Informal Settlement, both located in Nairobi.

These projects include thousands of new homes, schools, and social facilities, ensuring residents benefit from improved infrastructure and living conditions.

Project	Location	Proposed Units	Special Features
Kibera Soweto East Zone B	Langata, Nairobi	4,400	Nursery schools, youth centre, market stalls, community hall
Mariguini Informal Settlement	Starehe, Nairobi	2,600	Nursery school, dispensary, community centre

These redevelopments aim to replace congested informal settlements with well-planned, sustainable housing — providing “dignified and affordable homes for residents of Nairobi.”

Private Sector and NHC Collaborations

The National Housing Corporation (NHC) plays a central role in delivering affordable housing. Projects such as NHC Stoni Athi View feature four-bedroom maisonettes priced between Sh8.75 million and Sh9.75 million, combining comfort and scenic views.

Similarly, the Mavoko Housing Programme and Park Road Ngara projects exemplify how collaboration between the public and private sectors is scaling housing supply.
