Outstanding housing requests in Bahrain stood at 29,000 by the end of 2025, with 88pc falling in the first family category, 8pc in the second, 3pc in the third and 1pc in the fourth, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning said in a written reply to MP Khalid Buanaq.
During the current parliamentary term, 17,190 housing services were allocated, while 2,520 applications were cancelled due to factors such as changes in social status, income limits, or property ownership.
Authorities noted that cancelled applicants can reapply within two years if they meet eligibility criteria.
The ministry added that efforts are ongoing to reduce waiting lists through expanded housing options, financing schemes, and partnerships with private developers.
