Al Taniji stated that His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, directed the Department of Housing in Sharjah to collaborate with banks and halt monthly installments taken from Sharjah's residents who are eligible for housing grants, and whose salaries are less than Dh25,000 a month. This is for citizens who work for the government or private sector.

Housing grants were determined to the tune of Dh800,000 per citizen, Dh150,000 higher than was allowed last year at Dh650,000. Dh156m given in total for all housing allotments. Housing grants were the lions' share of this amount, with Dh88m for 153 citizens. "110 people were eligible for housing loans to the tune of Dh68m," he added.
