The National Housing Authority is advancing the renovation and development of housing for the elderly and vulnerable groups through the 2026 “Comfortable Homes for Elderly” project, covering 10 provinces with a total of 32 houses. The initiative aims to raise quality of life and create equal opportunities for accessing housing, focusing on sustainable and secure living for vulnerable populations.
Mr. Taweepong Wichaidit, Governor of the National Housing Authority, stated that the NHA focuses on developing and building housing for low- to middle-income citizens alongside improving quality of life and reducing inequality in housing access. This is achieved through the “Renovation or Construction of Housing for the Elderly and Vulnerable Groups to Sustainably Improve Quality of Life (Comfortable Homes for Elderly)” project, in line with the policy of Mr. Nikorn Somklang, Minister of Social Development and Human Security. The policy aims to create opportunities for citizens, especially vulnerable groups, to access suitable housing, enjoy good quality of life, and maintain dignified living within their communities. Housing designs follow Universal Design principles, and the project integrates cooperation with local agencies and network partners to ensure comprehensive and effective assistance reaches the target groups.
In 2026, the National Housing Authority is operating in 10 provinces with a total of 32 houses, including Phetchabun, Nakhon Nayok, Chachoengsao, Tak, Nan, Phayao, Nong Khai, Sakon Nakhon, Mukdahan, and Songkhla. The project encompasses renovation, repair, or new construction of houses as well as improvements to surrounding environments to ensure safety, hygiene, and suitability for the daily lives of the elderly and vulnerable groups.
From 2010 to 2026, the National Housing Authority has renovated houses nationwide for the elderly and vulnerable groups, totaling 573 houses. Of these, 426 were repaired as needed, and 147 were newly constructed.
Mr. Taweepong added that the “Comfortable Homes for Elderly” project is more than just renovating or building houses; it represents delivering hope and improving quality of life for the elderly and vulnerable. The goal is for everyone to have a safe, warm home and to live with dignity in their original communities. For many, a “home” is not just a place to live but a space of happiness, security, and peace of mind during life’s stages that deserve the best care.
