Maharashtra to Launch State-Run Housing Scheme for Homeless

A target of 3.5 lakh homes have been set under the Awaas Plus policy that covers people not represented in the PMAY list.

Maharashtra will launch a new housing scheme to provide accommodations to people not covered under the central government’s Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana scheme (PMAY) and the state-run Awaas Plus Yojana.

Recall here that under the PMAY scheme, the state is building 5 lakh houses, expected to be ready by March 2023. A target of construction of 3.5 lakh homes is set under the Awaas Plus policy that covers people not represented in the PMAY list.

With this additional step, the state aims to make Maharashtra the first state free of homeless people, said Maharashtra deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis.

“Under the PMAY, a target of completing 10.5 lakh homes was set for Maharashtra, which used to be the first to complete projects. However, later it lost its ranking with respect to project completion, owing to reasons like encroachment and non-availability of plots. The Maharashtra government has framed a new policy that regularizes encroachments and makes land available,” he said.
