Housing in Pakistan is generally comprised of three general classes: pakka houses (पक्का/پکّا pakkā, lit. '"ripe, enduring, experienced"'), which are made of strong materials like brick and cement ; katchi houses (کچی kachē, lit. '"unripe, semi-made, unsure"'), which are made of less-permanent materials such as thatch and bamboo; and semi-pakka houses (these make up, which are a sort of mix of the pakka and katchi houses. Housing in Pakistan has always been insufficient due to a growing population (which reached 224.7 million in May 2011) and accelerated by urbanisation combined with the housing problem being low-priority in the eyes of the government. Urban areas were facing a shortage of 4.4 million housing units in 2010, while the population is expected to grow by 40 million in 2030.

Pakistan's large population (176.74 million in 2011) means that real estate holds immense potential because of population density. The people of Pakistan are experiencing penury and therefore the housing is not very elaborate or accurately planned and cannot last very long. Many people are homeless due to overpopulation.

Rs 30bn subsidy announced for Naya Pakistan Housing Project.

There is shortage of 12 million houses in Pakistan, said ABAD Chairman Mohsin Sheikhani.
