The government has urged 360 families in government units in Starehe to move and pave way for the affordable housing program. He said residents from Park Road moved, allowing the government to complete the project while starehe residents had moved to court in 2014, protesting government's bid to take over the site. The government intends to construct 500, 000 affordable housing units by 2022 to curb shortages. Starehe Housing Development is envisioned as a mixed-use development with social, common and housing amenities. Starehe and Shauri Moyo Residents Association Chairman Adam Katana, however, said they are contemplating moving to court to prevent their houses from being demolished.
