The Ministry of Municipality and Housing has called on members of the community to report violations related to group housing for individuals through the "Balady" platform or by calling the unified number (940). The ministry emphasized that reporting such violations contributes to enhancing safety, public health, and improving the quality of life in residential neighborhoods.
The ministry explained that this initiative is part of a comprehensive plan aimed at raising awareness about the importance of adhering to approved health and technical requirements in group housing. This helps limit irregular practices, ensures the safety of residents, and promotes compliance with municipal regulations.
It reaffirmed its ongoing monitoring efforts in cooperation with relevant authorities, noting that private sector establishments have a shared responsibility to provide suitable housing environments for workers. This supports sustainable urban development and aligns with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 to improve quality of life.
Recently, the ministry launched an updated version of the health, technical, and safety requirements guide for group housing for individuals. This effort aims to regulate this type of housing and standardize its controls, contributing to the creation of safe and healthy living environments that meet residents’ needs and support quality of life across cities in the Kingdom.
It is worth noting that the Ministry of Municipality and Housing leads the National Program for the Development of Group Housing for Individuals, which includes several government entities such as: the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones, the Economic Cities and Special Zones Authority, and the Public Health Authority "Weqaya".
