Algiers, January 16, 2026 – Minister of Housing, Urban Planning, and the City, Mohamed Tarek Belaribi, announced on Thursday that over 300,000 subscribers have successfully paid the initial installment as part of the AADL 3 housing program.
Responding to questions from members of the People’s National Assembly, Minister Belaribi emphasized that every subscriber meeting the eligibility criteria will automatically receive housing. He reaffirmed the sector’s commitment to ensuring transparency and adhering to established standards for benefiting from the program.
The Minister further stated that the National Agency for Housing Improvement and Development (AADL) is implementing the third iteration of the program with “discipline and composure,” despite campaigns surrounding the subscription phase, particularly those originating from social media pages based outside the country, according to the Minister.
He reiterated that AADL has leveraged the experience gained from managing the AADL 1 and AADL 2 programs to improve the administration of AADL 3. This time, a complete reliance on digitization, including electronic payments, has been implemented, effectively eliminating the long queues that characterized previous phases.
The move towards complete digitization has streamlined the process and ensured greater efficiency in managing the large volume of applications and payments. The ministry believes this new approach will lead to a more transparent and equitable distribution of housing units under the AADL 3 program.
