The past performance of MDA has been remarkable as it has executed major projects of city development work of Rs one billion. MDA successfully completed its thirteen housing schemes, for which land was acquired under Punjab Acquisition of Land [Housing] Act, 1973, but with the repeal of this act, MDA could not launch its further housing schemes as land under Land Acquisition Act, 1894, now land has to be purchased on market value which is quite beyond the reach of Authority. Nevertheless, MDA with the cooperation of Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) launched Multan Model Town housing scheme (phase-I&II) in 1999 on an area of 91 acres with 472 residential plots of 1-kanal and 10-marla size. Initially it suffered set-back due to blocking of the  site for Government's Mera Ghar scheme but later on the site was returned to MDA. At the moment all the residential plots stand disposed off by 2004. In year 2000, the case of New Shah Shams Housing Scheme was decided in favour of MDA after 14-years of litigation that helped MDA to generate adequate funds. Now MDA is now looking forward to Multan Model Town Phase-III (self financing) scheme on 37 acres and Fatima Jinnah Town over an area of 670 acres to provide  5601 plots. Consisting of 226 plots of one kanal and ten marlas have already been disposed off through balloting. For Model Town Phase-III, MDA has already called applications from the general public and balloting will be held shortly for 226 plots of 1-kanal and 10-marla. Whereas acquisition proceedings for Fatima Jinnah Town are in progress.  50% plots of this scheme are proposed to be earmarked for government employees. The authority would have done more progress if the funds were provided timely, still its progress is appreciable in the housing contribution. Some of projects are listed below.
