Morocco Housing Aid Program Exceeds 100K Beneficiaries, MREs Lead Growth

The Daam Sakane direct housing aid program is experiencing tremendous success in Morocco, surpassing 100,000 beneficiaries. Fully digitized, this scheme is particularly appealing to Moroccans residing abroad (MREs, who represent nearly a quarter of buyers.

The Moroccan diaspora is fully embracing this new boost to real estate. Moroccans residing abroad now represent 24% of beneficiaries of this direct financial aid. For the Housing and Real Estate Promotion directorate, this enthusiasm demonstrates the strong confidence of MREs in state mechanisms. This success silences critics who accused the project of targeting only the wealthy. Indeed, the social mission remains central: 40% of acquisitions concern properties under 300,000 dirhams, while the buyer profile reveals genuine inclusion, with 52% of young people under 40 and 47% women.

Overall, the single online window has crossed the symbolic threshold of 100,000 finalized cases, driven by a 17.6% increase in applications between 2024 and 2025. According to Finances News Hebdo magazine, the gap between eligibility validations and actual sales is explained by platform flexibility, access to credit, and construction timelines. Far from being confined to major cities, this real estate momentum is spreading to many provinces such as Fès, Meknès, Kénitra, and El Jadida. Rural areas account for nearly 68,000 beneficiaries, meeting the objective of reducing territorial disparities defended by authorities.

To guarantee strict safety and energy performance standards, second-hand properties are excluded from the scheme, which runs until 2028. This qualitative choice generates a 70% satisfaction rate among buyers. "Daam Sakane marks above all a structural change in Morocco’s housing policy: we have gradually shifted from a logic centered on the real estate product to a logic centered on the citizen," explains sector director Hicham Airoud. Economically, the impact is powerful: cement sales jumped 31.84% in April 2026 and construction starts are progressing by nearly 40%. In total, the state has already injected 8.32 billion dirhams on a transaction volume of 41.7 billion.
