Algeria Set to Hand Over First AADL 3 Homes on Revolution Anniversary

31 October 2026 · Algeria Now

ALGIERS — Algeria is due to hand over the first homes of its AADL 3 programme on Sunday, 1 November, the anniversary of the start of the 1954 war of independence. For households that have waited since subscriptions opened in July 2024, it is the first concrete result.

Habitat Minister Mohamed Tarek Belaribi announced the date on 17 August. During a tour of several wilayas (provinces) in mid-October, he said about 1,200 units in three of them were ready or close to completion and that deadlines and quality standards had been met. Logement-Algerie, citing the minister, put the first lot at 1,150 units: 150 in Bordj Bou Arréridj, 400 in Chelghoum Laïd, in Mila province, and 600 in Oum El Bouaghi.

The ministry showed finished AADL 3 sites in five wilayas: Mascara, M'Sila, Ouargla, Chelghoum Laïd and Oum El Bouaghi. The ministry had not published a detailed final list at the time of writing.

Where the programme stands

About 950,000 applicants paid the first instalment, the minister said in May, according to Algerie360. That payment was 343,000 dinars for a three-room F3 and 431,500 dinars for an F4, and was made in two parts.

Mr Belaribi said in October that subscribers to the roughly 200,000 units under construction would soon be asked to pay the second instalment, and that splitting it into two payments was under study.

The homes are being built in new urban poles. According to the minister, 47 are planned across 38 wilayas, covering more than 30,000 hectares and including schools and health facilities. Works have started on 16 of them, on 7,875 hectares, with room for 493,559 housing units. He also said the new units have improved finishing, including central heating.

Background: a long-running priority

Housing has been a major social priority for Algerian governments for decades. On 5 July, Independence Day, authorities distributed 179,168 housing units and housing aid of various kinds. The ministry's stated target is two million units for 2025 to 2029.

The 1 November handover carries symbolic weight, as the date marks the start of the war that ended the brutal French colonial rule in 1962. Authorities are expected to announce beneficiaries and handover procedures site by site.
