The Ministry of Housing (MOH) is responsible for providing adequate housing for families with limited income in Bahrain.
The ministry was established in 1975[1] with Khalid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa as the first Housing Minister.[1] He served in the post between 1975 and 1995.[2]
The cabinet added the Housing sector to the Ministry of Works functions after the 2002 Bahraini general election. It was then called "The Ministry of Works & Housing". In December 2007, the ministry was again divided into two separate ministries, one for Housing and one for Public Works.
