Abstract: The *Draft State Housing Policy* of Maharashtra, dated 1st November 2006, seeks to address the state’s growing housing demands by enhancing accessibility, affordability, and quality. The policy focuses on ensuring decent housing for all, especially marginalized communities. Key strategies include promoting private sector involvement, planning reforms, and redeveloping outdated infrastructure, such as Mumbai’s BDD Chawls and old colonies. The policy aims to provide better living conditions while preserving cultural heritage. By fostering collaboration with the private sector, the policy envisions sustainable, scalable housing solutions that transform Maharashtra’s urban landscape into a more inclusive environment.
