The Association of Israeli Corridot Funds has launched a new initiative called 'Darna' aimed at simplifying access to housing loans for the Arab community in Israel. The project was announced at a professional conference on Monday, November 2, 2026, attended by housing loan advisors from the North region, as well as representatives from economic and professional entities in the finance and housing sectors.
During the conference, Adi Azaria, Director General of the Association, and Suheir Shobash, Deputy Director General and Director of the 'Darna' project, presented the initiative's goals. The 'Darna' project seeks to expand opportunities for Arab families to obtain housing loans by providing specialized professional guidance and practical tools to navigate the financial and procedural requirements. Azaria emphasized that the Association's programs aim to reduce economic gaps and enhance socio-economic stability within the Arab community.
Shobash explained that 'Darna' is part of the Association's broader vision to promote financial inclusion and reduce economic disparities, highlighting housing as a key factor for family stability. The project intends to overcome bureaucratic and procedural obstacles faced by families seeking housing loans, transforming challenges into opportunities for suitable housing solutions. This professional support is offered completely free of charge by the Association to maximize the number of families benefiting from guidance throughout the loan application process.
The project was developed in response to a growing need for specialized professional support in housing loans within the Arab community. It will equip families with information and tools for informed financial decisions, assisting them from eligibility checks and document preparation to understanding lender requirements and completing the loan acquisition. The initiative also focuses on building a professional network with housing loan advisors to simplify procedures and improve access to appropriate housing finance.
The conference served as a platform for professional dialogue, where advisors discussed challenges faced by loan applicants and ways to improve services. The event concluded with a lecture by Nardeen Armali, a financial planner and project manager at the 'Rasid' association, who analyzed the economic realities of the Arab community and the impact of current economic developments on the housing and finance sectors.
