Bahrain Daily Tribune, 20 August 2024: A number of new changes to housing policy in Bahrain have been introduced including the lifting of wives using inherited property for benefits.

In addition, there will be a new streamlined property allocation process and a shift in income assessments to the nomination stage rather than the allocation stage as was previously the case. The Cabinet has approved the revised housing regulations. As result of a new rule children over 21 will not be considered if the applicant is a widow or divorcee with minor children. The amendments have been made to Bahrain Decision No. 909/2015.
