Launch of Affordable Rental Housing Complex for Migrant & Urban Poor
The central government has announced to provide affordable rental houses for migrant laborers. It will come under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). This announcement was made by the Finance Minister on Thursday in the announcement of the tranche-2 of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
The scheme will be launched through concession under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), by converting government funded housing in cities to concessional rental housing under PPP (Public-Private Partnership) mode. The move will help migrant workers and the urban poor to stay in cities by paying reasonable rent in these government premises.
