1. Introduction to MHADA and its Role in Affordable Housing
MHADA Lottery (MHADA) for the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority. It was established in 1948 and has been a key facilitator of affordable housing in Maharashtra since.
The organization was established by the government of Maharashtra with the primary goal of catering to the housing needs and problems of economically weaker sections and low-income groups in the state. MHADA plays a unique and pivotal role in housing development in the state, which comprises developing new townships, implicitly undertaking new housing development through municipal planning and developing infrastructure support projects such as setting up water supply, underground drainage, and public amenities such as shopping centers, schools, playgrounds, public parks, dispensaries, hospitals, bus depots, and other essential components of a complete urban area. Traditional lottery schemes are two-dimensional, focusing on housing only.
However, MHADA operates different lottery schemes for rehabilitation and resettlement associated with slum prevention. This helps in integrated urban planning as far as the economically underprivileged section of the urban area is concerned. It offers living spaces to these economically underprivileged persons depending on their role or income.
The different homes, such as owned-cum-sale, rental purchase, etc., are facilitated through a transparent lottery system by the concerned societies. MHADA also has a stake in the sale of homes, which makes the home known outright within a stipulated period, ranging from a regulated period varying from 5 years and some other schemes with recurring maintenance tenure.
The principles for the sale of homes are decided by the competent authority as per the MHAD Act. It has shown commitment towards the community by selling homes at the cost of construction. MHADA has helped in looking after the interests of slum and long-term tenants without delaying the issue of new houses. The Central Government and the Government of Maharashtra have encouraged this initiative by supporting a portion of the land cost.
