Housing relief for migrant workers; thousands of PMAY houses ready to move-in: Piyush Goyal
- 4 years ago
After the union cabinet allowed migrant workers to rent affordable houses built under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal’s office said in a tweet that 70,000 govt-funded houses are ready to be let out to the migrants. In the first phase of the Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHC) scheme, the PMAY houses in the states of Maharashtra, Delhi, and Telangana are ready to move-in.
The cabinet had said that the existing vacant government-funded housing complexes will be converted into ARHCs through concession agreements for 25 years and the concessionaire will make the complexes livable by repair, retrofit, and maintenance of rooms. It had added that the concessionaire will also fill infrastructure gaps like water, sewer, sanitation, road, etc.
Earlier this week, the union cabinet gave its approval for developing Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (AHRCs) for urban migrants and poor as a sub-scheme under Pradhan MantriAwasYojana – Urban (PMAY – U).
