The Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) is embarking on an ambitious plan to build over 62,000 affordable housing units in Nairobi to ease the strain of housing in the capital.

The project is expected to boost the Jubilee administration’s plan to put up half a million housing units under the Big Four Agenda.
