According to a tweet by Housing Minister Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, deadline for submission has been extended until 30th September. The previous deadline was 31st August.
The minister said that this is because of 'numerous requests' from the public, as well as to 'allow more people to submit forms'.
"[This] shows the support and confidence of the people in the housing programmes of President Yameen," Muizzu added to the tweet.
Deadline for submission of application forms for "Hiyaa" extended from 31/08 to 30/09 due to numerous requests from public to extend the opportunity and allow more people to submit forms; shows the support and confidence of the people in the housing programmes of HEP Yameen.
