In a bid to transform homeownership in Uganda, Housing Finance Bank has joined forces with Easy Housing to provide sustainable and affordable housing solutions tailored to the needs of everyday Ugandans.

The strategic collaboration goes beyond traditional shelter, offering homes that are financially inclusive, environmentally friendly, and resilient to climate change.

The partnership was officially launched at the Housing Finance Bank Head Office in Kololo last Friday, marking a significant milestone in advancing sustainable and inclusive housing in Uganda.

Through Housing Finance Bank’s long-standing commitment to enabling homeownership with Easy Housing’s innovation in circular and climate-smart construction, the initiative aims to deliver homes that adapt with families and harmonise with the environment.

Together, the two organisations are redefining the future of housing in Uganda, making sustainable living accessible, inclusive, and enduring.

“Too often, affordability has meant compromise on quality, durability, or safety. This partnership challenges that mindset. We are financing homes that are not only attainable but resilient homes that protect families, respect nature, and support Uganda’s vision for sustainable urban development,” said Christopher Akugizibwe, Manager of Home Loans at HFB.

The partnership supports Housing Finance Bank’s broader goals of inclusive growth, financial empowerment, and environmental stewardship. It directly addresses Uganda’s urgent housing deficit of 2.4 million with practical, scalable solutions that can be replicated nationwide.

“We build with purpose for people and for the planet. By joining forces with Housing Finance Bank, we are enabling more Ugandans to access homes that reflect dignity, safety, and sustainability. It is not just about affordability; it is about long-term value for families and the environment,” Wolf Bierens, Managing Director of Easy Housing, highlighted.

Easy Housing’s model emphasises modular construction using sustainable timber and locally sourced materials, reducing carbon emissions while keeping homes cost-effective. The designs allow families to build incrementally based on their resources, without sacrificing structural integrity or comfort.
