Eman Hassan Al Abbasi, Director of Housing Finance at the Ministry, opened the session with a warm welcome and thanked the SCW for launching the initiative.

She expressed hope that the program will enhance awareness and help women achieve greater housing stability. During the session, Mervat Saleh Al Doseri, Head of Community Affairs at the Ministry, presented an overview of the ministry's housing and financing services. She explained the five housing categories and the support available to women, including ownership programs, housing loans, rent allowances, and special exemptions for widows caring for minor children. The presentation also covered key initiatives such as the Masaken 1 and Masaken 2 projects for fifth-category applicants, and instant financing options like Tas'heel, Tas'heel+, and specialized products such as Tas'heel Aqar, Tas'heel Al Bayt Al Oud, and Tas'heel Ta'awun. She also introduced the updated Mazaya programs designed to make homeownership easier.
