Owning a home remains a dream for many low-income families in Punjab. Rising construction costs and limited access to affordable loans have made housing difficult for thousands. To address this gap, the CM Punjab Housing Program 2026, widely known as Apni Chhat Apna Ghar, is providing practical and long-term support to families who want to build or complete their own homes.
This program focuses on affordable housing through interest-free or low-cost loans, making home ownership possible without heavy financial pressure.
What Is the CM Punjab Housing Program 2026
The CM Punjab Housing Program is a government-backed housing initiative designed to help families who do not own a house. Instead of giving cash grants, the program provides easy loans that can be used to:
-
Build a new house
-
Complete an unfinished home
-
Improve basic housing conditions
Since its launch, the program has expanded rapidly across urban and rural Punjab.
Current Progress and Achievements
The housing program has already shown strong results across the province.

Progress depends on plot size, location, and weather

New houses are completed and delivered every month
Basic facilities like electricity access and road connectivity are planned alongside construction.
