Maharashtra’s booming population and skyrocketing real estate prices have created a growing demand for affordable housing. At the forefront of this change stand MHADA (Maharashtra Housing & Area Development Authority) and the Maharashtra Housing Board (MHB). Through lottery-based schemes, slum redevelopment initiatives, transit rehousing, and region-specific mega-projects, these bodies are bringing affordable, permanent homes to thousands of underprivileged and middle-income families across the state.
