Dubai: A new committee has been set up by the Abu Dhabi Housing Authority to handle all requests related to housing grants for UAE Nationals.

This committee will only handle housing grants issued under legislation that was in effect before October 2, 2018, on all deals related to the selling or exchanging with other UAE citizens.

It has started accepting requests from today (May 6) and will continue until July 31 at the ISKAN Abu Dhabi Center.

"The committee aims to address the cases that took place before October 2, 2018, in accordance with the approved regulations and to uphold public interest," the ADHA said in the statement.
