What new affordable housing schemes were introduced in 2025?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2025, the government ramped up its efforts to tackle housing affordability with a fresh wave of schemes aimed at helping low- and middle-income Malaysians find stable, long-term housing. These initiatives are part of a broader commitment to meet the demands of a growing population while narrowing the homeownership gap.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>PRR and RMR<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.penangpropertytalk.com\/2024\/10\/budget-2025-housing-highlights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer dofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM900 million has been allocated to build 48 People\u2019s Housing Projects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (PRR) and 14 Rumah Mesra Rakyat (RMR) developments, with 30 projects expected to be completed by the end of the year.

How much financing help is available for first-time buyers?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buying your first home can feel daunting\u2014especially when upfront costs and loan approvals get in the way. To ease the burden, the government has introduced several financing support measures in 2025, with a strong focus on helping first-time buyers secure loans and reduce their financial load.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>SJKP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Housing Credit Guarantee Scheme): The government has allocated RM10 billion in credit guarantees through Syarikat Jaminan Kredit Perumahan (SJKP), helping eligible borrowers\u2014especially those without fixed incomes\u2014access home financing of up to RM500,000.

What improvements are being made to existing public housing?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Affordable housing isn\u2019t just about building new homes\u2014it\u2019s also about maintaining the ones people already live in. In 2025, the government allocated RM200 million to improve living conditions in low- and medium-cost strata housing, with a focus on essentials like elevator upgrades, plumbing repairs, and safety features.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, RM100 million has been earmarked to rejuvenate 48 MADANI public parks, and to upgrade community facilities in Chinese New Villages and Indian settlements. These efforts aim to create cleaner, safer, and more liveable neighbourhoods for all.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>6.
