State Housing Company Limited (SHC) was established originally as the Gold Coast housing corporation in 1956 under the Gold Coast Housing Corporation Ordinance 1955 (No.31). In 1965, the name of the Corporation was changed to the State Housing Corporation (SHC) and mandated to “increase the availability of dwelling houses in Ghana.”
Until the early ‘70s’ the corporation was a sub vented organization acting as the government‘s housing construction arm. Its philosophy was to provide housing as a social service. In July 1995, SHC was converted into a Limited Liability Company under the statutory Corporations (Conversion of Companies) Act, 1993.
It was duly registered under the Companies Code 1963 on July 10, 1995 and structured to operate as a commercial enterprise.
