Dubai will create residences for low-income workers in the city, according to a new policy.
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, has approved a housing policy for low-income working people, which will also renovate some old areas in Dubai, wam reported on Sunday.
Shaikh Hamdan, who is also Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, was presiding over the council meeting held at the Union House.
The policy will classify low-income people into Emiratis and non-Emiratis, including expats and workers, in strategic sectors in Dubai.
The policy will also include families' income levels, place of residence, and public benefits and will compare them with requirements at the time and the extent of challenges families are facing.
During the meeting, Shaikh Hamdan reviewed possible ways of providing suitable accommodations for low-income families based on standard comparisons and results of surveys, which included two main programmes.
The first one aims to cooperate with real estate developers in order to provide housing units for low-income families while the second aims to refurbish some old areas in Dubai.
He also directed the setting up of a Social Responsibility Work Team, which will be subordinated to the Social Development Committee of the Executive Council. The creation of the team, which will include a number of businessmen and relevant public bodies, aims to coordinate and advance all types of community work in Dubai, consider social needs and categories and dedicate initiatives and programmes for the nation's martyrs.
