6/25/25, 10:33 AM Abu Dhabi Housing Authority offers Obtaining Approval to Extend the Repayment Period of Housing Loans service under Barakatn…

Abdulrahman Al Baloushi, Director of the Department of Strategic Planning and Institutional Development at the FDF,

said: "This initiative reflects a collaborative approach among key strategic partners to improve the quality of life for
senior citizens and enhance family cohesion. By easing the daily burdens on primary caregivers, the service supports

them in delivering comprehensive and effective care that reflects the deeply rooted Emirati values of filial piety and
family care."

Al Baloushi further highlighted that the initiative activates the family’s role within the broader social care system and
promotes a culture of intergenerational solidarity. By providing caregivers with necessary support and guidance, the

aim is to reinforce the dignity and value of senior citizens within families and society at large, and the importance of
shared responsibility in their care and well-being.

Mohammed Abdulrahman Al Marzouqi, Acting Executive Director of Policy Development and Strategic Sector at
ADHA, stated that one of the key eligibility conditions is that the applicant must be the primary caregiver of a parent

aged 60 or above, and must have an active, fully repayable individual basic loan from ADHA, such as those granted

for building, purchasing or rebuilding a home.

Al Marzouqi added that applications must be submitted through the TAMM platform, along with all required

documentation. The FDF will verify eligibility, after which ADHA will extend the repayment period within one week.

This step forms part of the Abu Dhabi Government’s ongoing efforts to enhance the well-being of senior citizens,

ensure housing stability, and deliver high-quality services that meet their needs while empowering caregivers in
fulfilling their social and family responsibilities toward their elderly parents.
