A leaking roof is not a housing statistic to the family under it — it is damp walls, a child who is ill every winter, and possessions that cannot be kept. This fund pays for the repairs that make an existing home safe: roofing, water and sanitation connections, electrical safety, and structural work where a wall or floor has failed.
Cases come through the regional centres rather than an application form, because the centres already know which households are in difficulty and which have simply stopped asking. Work is done by local contractors, and each household contributes what it can, including labour.
What a contribution covers
- Rs 12,000 replaces a corrugated roof section
- Rs 45,000 installs a sanitary block for one household
- Rs 120,000 covers a full structural repair on one dwelling
