The Affordable Housing Board has issued a warning over a company allegedly claiming to offer housing units under the government-backed affordable housing programme.

In a statement on Tuesday, March 17, the board raised concern about activities linked to a firm identified as Brightwood Apartments Company, which is reportedly presenting itself as a facilitator of housing units under the government initiative.

“It has come to our attention that Brightwood Apartments Company is reportedly facilitating affordable housing units on behalf of the Affordable Housing Board and the Boma Yangu Affordable Housing Program,” the statement read.

The board clarified that the company has no official mandate to operate under the programme, urging Kenyans to remain cautious and verify information through legitimate channels.

“Kindly note that the said company is not authorized to facilitate or offer housing units under the program. Members of the public are therefore advised not to make any payments or share personal information in response to such claims,” the statement added.

The board further dismissed any promotional materials or communications linking the company to the housing initiative as misleading and illegitimate.

“Any advertisement or communication suggesting that Brightwood Apartments Company is offering, facilitating, or selling houses under the Boma Yangu program is false and unauthorized,” the statement concluded.
