Iran will be announcing the participants of the national housing plan in upcoming days, said deputy minister of road and urban development Mahmoud Mahmoudzadeh, Trend reports via ILNA.
He said the affordable apartments would be assigned to qualified applicants, from the low-income class.

"A total of 750,000 people have been considered for the national housing plan, their data is being reviewed, the qualified candidates will be notified by a text message," Mahmoudzadeh said.
