As part of the PMAY (U) LIFE scheme being implemented in the state through Kudumbashree, the construction of 90,237 houses has been completed.
The central government has approved the construction of 1,27,048 houses across the state. For this, Rs. 2124.68 crores have been sanctioned till date, including central and state share. Out of the approved houses, the construction of 90,237 houses have been completed so far.
The construction of the remaining 36,811 houses will also be completed soon. With this, the dream of owning a house for 1,27,048 homeless beneficiaries will become a reality.
The project also paves the way for many homeless families to live with dignity in the society by providing them with secure and habitable houses.
This achievement is due to Kudumbashree working as the nodal agency under the joint auspices of the central and state governments and municipalities.
With the aim of 'Housing for All', the project is being implemented in all 93 urban local bodies in the state in collaboration with LIFE Mission. The projects have been approved by including them in the Beneficiary Led Construction Component.
Under the PMAY (Urban) LIFE scheme, homeless families with an annual income of less than Rs three lakhs will get Rs four lakh for the construction of houses through the project. Out of this, Rs 2 lakhs is provided by the municipality and Rs 50,000 is provided by the state government. Therefore, a total of Rs 2,50,000 is provided by the state government. Rs 1.5 lakhs is the central share.
The Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme, a sub-component of the PMAY (Urban) LIFE Scheme, has also helped the beneficiaries to acquire their own homes. Under this, the beneficiaries will be provided with loans from the bank to construct or purchase their own houses. Till date, 32,651 families have been provided with such loans.
Kudumbashree had also obtained permission to construct 11 housing complexes comprising 970 units for the landless and homeless in collaboration with LIFE Mission. Out of these, the construction of 530 units has been completed. The construction of the remaining units is progressing rapidly.
