Safe and comfortable housing The Head of the Media Department pointed to the technical support provided by the department to beneficiaries.

The project is the first of several phases embodying institutional integration that seeks to improve the quality of residential life through designs that meet families' needs while preserving their privacy. Al Hammadi added that the delivery of the first phase reflects the project's rapid completion and the department's commitment to the planned timeline. He noted that subsequent phases will witness further improvements and design options, meeting citizens' aspirations and enhancing the level of housing services in the emirate.
