The Gujarat Housing Board (GHB) is actively addressing the state’s housing challenges not only by marketing unsold units in current developments but also by launching new projects. These initiatives are tailored to be affordable, ensuring the government’s backing enables the construction of homes for diverse segments of the population.
Under the direction of the state administration, the board is developing housing initiatives aimed at enhancing the living conditions of residents. A notable focus is on families within the Below Poverty Line (BPL), Economically Weaker Section (EWS), and Low-Income Group (LIG). Furthermore, the new housing schemes also offer options for segments of the Middle-Income Group (MIG) and Higher-Income Group (HIG).
Active projects are currently underway in several key cities including Surat, Ahmedabad, and Vadodara.
