In his address, Hon Adjei emphasized the importance of these institutions in regulating the real estate sector, providing housing finance to public servants, and delivering quality homes to Ghanaians.
He tasked the boards to drive progress and development in the housing sector, prioritizing innovative financing mechanisms, public-private partnerships, and green and climate-resilient housing finance.

They also assured the Hon. Minister that they will contribute to addressing Ghana’s housing challenges through effective regulation, financing, and delivery of affordable housing solutions.
