President Mahama to open national conference on housing finance

President John Dramani Mahama is expected to open the two-day National Conference on Housing Finance on October 7, 2026, in Accra, with stakeholders set to deliberate on innovative financing mechanisms to expand access to adequate and affordable housing in Ghana.

The conference, being organised by the National Homeownership Fund (NHF), will be held at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel under the theme: “Adequate Housing for All: Innovative Financing for Ghana’s Housing Future.”

President Mahama, who will be the Guest of Honour, is expected to deliver the keynote address at the opening session, which will bring together representatives from government, financial institutions, the private sector, development institutions, civil society, academia and local government.

The conference comes amid persistent challenges in Ghana’s housing sector, including rising construction costs, limited availability of long-term financing, high mortgage rates and affordability constraints, which continue to affect access to adequate housing for many households.
