One of the biggest problems of recent years, the difficulty of housing and the reason for the exorbitant rent and housing prices, emerged with the campaign of Housing Development Administration of Turkey (TOKİ). Murat Kurum, Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, said that applications for the largest social housing project in the history of the Republic, with 250 thousand houses, reached 5 million.
Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Murat Kurum, in his answer to a question on whether the TOKİ application period will be extended, stated that the applications are reached 5 million, and said:
“The figure is now at 5 million. It's over 5 million. On the one hand, we examine. We have our picks. Nearly 2 million young people applied. At the moment, we have no plans to extend the application period. We will look at that day, and we will try to meet this need in line with the demands of our citizens, but our citizens can already make these applications from the e-Government, via internet. So far, we haven't had any problems with this.”
LAND APPLICATIONS STARTS ON OCTOBER 10
“On October 10, our land applications will start. It will last until November 7,” said Murat Kurum, Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, and continued his words as follows:
“Our goal is that after these applications are over, the draws will be drawn in the presence of a notary public in our 81 provinces quickly, with great enthusiasm, with a fair election and process management. We plan to finish all the draws on the land and in the residence by the first quarter of 2023. If our citizen applies to land or housing, we will give him the right of priority in this sense. Hopefully, as we promised, we will deliver our houses in stages within 2 years,” Minister Kurum added.
