Kenya’s legal framework includes provisions to facilitate access to affordable housing, ensuring that low- and middle-income groups can benefit from state-supported housing programs. The Affordable Housing Act, 2024, serves as the primary legislative framework governing the development, financing, and allocation of affordable housing units, promoting inclusive housing policies tailored to different economic groups. The Act introduces mechanisms for subsidized homeownership, rental housing schemes, and incentives for private sector participation, ensuring that housing remains accessible and sustainable. However, while the Act prioritizes Kenyan citizens, it does not explicitly address its applicability to non-citizens, including refugees and other displaced populations. Despite this, broader housing policies and settlement programs for refugees and vulnerable groups continue to be implemented through humanitarian organizations and government partnerships, ensuring that housing remains accessible to a wider demographic beyond the scope of the Affordable Housing Act. Expanding legal provisions to clarify eligibility for non-citizens could further enhance housing inclusivity and align Kenya’s policies with international standards on the right to adequate housing.
