Indian Housing Authorities

Indian Housing Authorities are government agencies responsible for planning, developing, and managing affordable housing for various populations, including low-income families, urban areas, and specific groups like veterans or the elderly. They coordinate projects, distribute subsidies, and enforce regulations to ensure safe, affordable, and quality living spaces. These authorities aim to promote equitable urban development, reduce housing shortages, and improve living conditions through policies, funding, and infrastructure development. Examples include the Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) and state-level housing boards, which work collaboratively to address housing needs across India.
