Housing

•About 100,000 long-term rental apartments within a decade for young people, working families and reservists — 40% of them in a subsidized, supervised track at 30% below market price
•Tax benefits for landlords on leases of at least five years, and incentives for build-to-rent in return for a commitment to rent for at least ten years
•"The first million": a ₪1 million benefit toward a home for active reservists, priority in land tenders, and enough housing stock to use it within four years, with no lotteries
•Urban renewal in half the time — from over a decade to about five years — through a green planning track, from single buildings to whole neighborhoods, with incentives for developers in the periphery
•Moving planning to local authorities: a local zoning plan within 18 months, a building permit within 3 months and construction within 24 months, alongside self-licensing through private institutes
•More construction workers — a private track for bringing in foreign workers with seven-year visas — and expanding engineering studies at colleges
•A national housing-and-infrastructure coordination HQ, whose head will chair the National Planning and Building Council and the Israel Land company

•A national goal of moving a million Israelis to the periphery within a decade, with tax benefits and forgivable state housing loans for young families and reservists in the Galilee and Negev
