Helping families move from renting toward homeownership through philanthropic housing finance
By SIMA Impact Foundation | 2026
Why Is Homeownership Difficult for Families in Pakistan?
For many families in Pakistan, owning a home is a lifelong dream. They work hard, pay monthly rent, and manage household expenses, yet saving enough to purchase a house can remain out of reach.
Families with limited incomes often face barriers such as limited savings for an initial payment, housing finance options that may not suit their circumstances, and monthly rent that leaves little room to build assets.
The Tenant to Homeowner (T2H) Program aims to help eligible lower-income families move from renting toward homeownership through a philanthropic housing finance model.
What Is the Tenant to Homeowner (T2H) Program?
The Tenant to Homeowner Program is also known as Kiraayedar Se Maalik-e-Makaan. SIMA Impact Foundation describes T2H as a not-for-profit housing initiative that combines charitable contributions with zero-interest, zero-fee home financing for eligible families.
The initiative is implemented with Asaan Ghar Finance and initially focuses on urban areas including Karachi and Hyderabad. Families should confirm the latest eligibility criteria, service areas, and financing terms with the program team before applying.
How Does the T2H Program Work?
The program connects philanthropic support with a structured housing finance process.
1. Family assessment: Applicants are assessed against the program’s current eligibility and affordability requirements.
2. Philanthropic support: Charitable contributions help support the program’s housing finance model.
3. Housing finance process: Asaan Ghar Finance facilitates the applicable process, subject to verification, terms, and approval.
4. Continuing impact: Under the program’s recoverable financing model, repayments can return to the financing pool and help support other eligible families over time.
Approval is not automatic. Applicants should review the latest terms and required documents directly with Asaan Ghar Finance.
How Can Homeownership Improve a Family’s Future?
Greater housing stability: A home can provide a more secure place to live and reduce uncertainty associated with changing rental arrangements.
An opportunity to build an asset: Homeownership can help families work toward owning an asset over time, subject to the property and financing terms.
A stable environment for children: A secure home can support continuity in schooling, family routines, and community connections.
Dignity and independence: For many families, owning a home represents years of hard work and an opportunity to build a more secure future.
Who Can Benefit From the T2H Program?
The program is intended for eligible lower-income families who face barriers to homeownership. Applicants may be assessed on household circumstances, income, affordability, and their ability to meet current program requirements.
Eligibility is not guaranteed. Families should contact the program team to confirm current criteria, financing limits, required documents, and availability.
