Yayasan My First Home is a social enterprise program launched by the Better Malaysia Foundation to address the affordability gap faced by low-income households. With a focus on housing, their mission is to provide decent, affordable, and safe housing for all Malaysians. Their innovative approach includes offering affordable housing units that are designed for functional needs, with optimized space and privacy.

Unlike traditional affordable housing designs, their units feature 5 bedrooms, making them suitable for larger families. This allows children to have their own rooms, providing a conducive environment for studying and doing homework. Yayasan My First Home also implements the Dual Key concept, which allows for one spare room with an attached bath to be rented out for additional income.

This income can be used to pay part of the housing loan or maintenance fees. The concept also enables elderly parents to have their own private space while remaining close to the rest of the household. Although they are not property developers, Yayasan My First Home collaborates with the building industry and partners with developers who support their objective of affordable housing.

They help first-time house buyers through the application process and work to improve their credit score for eligibility.

They also provide resources, news clippings, and a FAQ section to answer any questions you may have.
