The Ministry of National Housing and Social Amenities seeks to fulfil its mandate of providing shelter as enshrined in the Constitution of Zimbabwe, Amendment Number 20 of 2013, Section 28. The Ministry of National Housing and Social Amenities is mandated to spearhead the formulation and implementation of policies in the Housing Delivery sector. The ministry is also a key player in the provision of adequate housing and social amenities to the citizens.
Access to shelter comes in twofold; that is home ownership and rental. Homeownership refers to a situation where the beneficiary buys the property through outright purchase or rent-to-buy from Government, Local Authorities, or the private sector. Security of tenure for this kind of transaction comes in the form of title deeds while preceded by an agreement of sale or lease with an option to purchase.
The Ministry is driven by the desire to contribute significantly towards the achievement of Vision 2030, whose mantra is; ‘Towards a Prosperous and Empowered Upper- Middle – Income Society by 2030’
VISION: Modern and Affordable Human Settlements for Zimbabweans by 2030
MISSION: To lead in the provision of human settlements in a coordinated and sustainable manner through the facilitation and promotion of functional housing and social amenities for all Zimbabweans.
