According to a media statement issued on Tuesday by NHE’s Acting Manager of Corporate Communications and Marketing, Tuafi Shafombabi, close to 574 houses have been constructed since the inception of the project in 2020. Prospective customers can register at the NHE offices in Katutura and the City of Windhoek Head Office.

According to NHE, the target areas for housing construction are Freedomland, Goreangab, Otjomuise, Greenwell Matongo – D, Okuryangava and Havana.

Prospective customers are required to take along a title deed, lease agreement, certified copies of their identity document, latest payslips or proof of income/declaration from the police specifying source of income, certified copies of marriage certificate, ante-nuptial contract or latest municipal account.
