About Us

State Housing Company Limited (SHCL) Established in 1956,

State Housing Company Limited (SHC) was established originally as the Gold Coast housing corporation in 1956 under the Gold Coast Housing Corporation Ordinance 1955 (No.31). In 1965, the name of the Corporation was changed to the State Housing Corporation (SHC) and mandated to “increase the availability of dwelling houses in Ghana.”

Until the early ‘70s’ the corporation was a sub vented organization acting as the government‘s housing construction arm. Its philosophy was to provide housing as a social service. In July 1995, SHC was converted into a Limited Liability Company under the statutory Corporations (Conversion of Companies) Act, 1993. 

It was duly registered under the Companies Code 1963 on July 10, 1995 and structured to operate as a commercial enterprise. State Housing Company (SHC) The Nation’s No. 1 Builder provides homes and estate management services to Government Agencies, Local Authorities, Developers and Private home buyers.

Testimonials

What people are saying about us

At State Housing Company Limited, we value feedback from the public as it helps us improve.

Owning a home from State Housing Company Limited has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The flexible payment options made it possible for me as a young professional to finally secure my own place.

Kwame Adomako, Accra

I never thought I could afford a decent house on my salary until SHC introduced their mortgage support. Today, my family and I live comfortably in our 3-bedroom home, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Abena Serwaa, Kumasi

What impressed me most about SHC is the quality of their work. The estate I live in is well-planned, safe, and peaceful. It feels good to know that I invested in a property that will last generations.

Ibrahim Fuseini, Tamale

State Housing Company really understands the needs of ordinary Ghanaians. Their homes are not only affordable but also modern, with designs that rival private developers.

Mavis Ofori, Takoradi

The customer care and sales team were very helpful throughout the process. They guided me from the first inquiry to the day I received my keys. I highly recommend SHC to anyone looking to own a home.

Faqs

Got questions? we've got answers

At State Housing Company Limited, we are committed to providing affordable, quality, and sustainable housing that empowers families, strengthens communities, and drives national development.

SHCL’s housing units are priced to be more affordable than those offered by private developers. Flexible payment plans, including mortgages, are available to make homeownership accessible.

To apply, you can pick up a form from any SHCL office or submit one online at www.statehousing.gov.gh. You will need to provide two passport-sized photographs, your Ghana Card, and pay a non-refundable processing fee of GHS 1,000. An initial deposit for the property is also required.

While SHCL primarily focuses on homeownership, the government’s National Rent Assistance Scheme (NRAS) supports low and middle-income households with rent advances, complementing SHC’s efforts to improve housing access.

Any Ghanaian—home or abroad—as well as non-Ghanaians legally residing in Ghana, can buy a house from SHCL. We also cater to corporate institutions and government agencies.

You can:

  • Visit our website: www.statehousing.gov.gh
  • Visit any SHCL office
  • You’ll need to complete a purchase application form, submit ID and proof of funds/payment plan.
