Federal Government Employees Housing Authority:
Affordable Housing Solutions for Federal Employees
The Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA) plays a pivotal role in providing affordable housing solutions to federal employees in Pakistan. Established in 1989 as a cell within the Ministry of Housing & Works, it was registered as a public limited company with the Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan on March 26, 1990.
The primary objective was to develop housing schemes that cater to the needs of federal government employees, ensuring they have access to quality residential options.
Development of Sectors G-13 and G-14
Among its notable achievements, the FGEHA has successfully developed several sectors in Islamabad, including G-13 and G-14. These sectors were meticulously planned and executed to provide residential plots to federal employees at subsidized rates. The development included essential infrastructure such as roads, drainage systems, and utility services, creating well-facilitated communities for the residents.
Transition to Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA)
Recognizing the need for a more streamlined approach, the Federal Government Employees Housing Authority was established through an ordinance promulgated by the President of Pakistan on July 12, 2019.
This transition aimed to consolidate housing initiatives under a single entity, facilitating a one-window operation for all housing-related matters. The establishment of FGEHA has enhanced efficiency, reduced bureaucratic hurdles, and expedited the process of providing housing to federal employees.
Services and Facilities Offered by FGEHA
The FGEHA offers a range of services to its members, including:
Membership Drives: Initiatives like Membership Drive Phase-II allow federal employees to register and create profiles through the Members Portal, streamlining the allocation process.
Transparent Allocation: The authority ensures a transparent and merit-based allocation of plots and apartments, maintaining fairness and integrity in its operations.
