The application process is centralised through the Boma Yangu online platform, where prospective homeowners can register, apply, and monitor the progress of their applications.

A Tenant Purchase Scheme (TPS) provides a monthly payment plan — a model regarded as essential for improving access to home ownership among lower and middle-income earners.
Eligibility depends on several factors, including savings history, family status, and demand for specific housing categories. As Boma Yangu notes, “factors like savings, family status, and the demand for specific housing categories influence allocation.”
While the programme’s broader impact is still unfolding, Boma Yangu remains a cornerstone of Kenya’s affordable housing agenda, opening doors for aspiring homeowners.
