King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman have donated a total of SR150 million ($40 million) to the second Jood Regions campaign, launched at the start of Ramadan.
The SR100 million from the king and SR50 million from the crown prince is to support housing programs and initiatives aimed at providing homes for needy families in the Kingdom, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Friday.
Minister of Municipalities and Housing Majid Al-Hogail expressed gratitude for the support, emphasizing its significant impact on the families' quality of life and stability.
"This will have a tremendous and effective impact on providing suitable housing units for the needy families within the Jood Regions campaign during the month of Ramadan," he said.
The Jood Regions campaign was first launched during Ramadan 2024 by the non-profit Housing Development Organization "Sakan" to provide more than 10,000 housing units for the most needy families across the Kingdom's 13 provinces.
The campaigns include events to raise awareness and encourage community participation. Organized by local authorities, the campaigns bring together entrepreneurs, leaders and others to ensure citizens access suitable housing with ease and reliability, fulfilling the goals of developmental housing initiatives.
