The Gujarat Housing Board (GHB), has proposed to construct affordable houses every year for low and medium income groups in the state.

The Board has already started building houses with the goal to build 25,000 to 40,000 houses every year. The state government has already sanctioned Rs 85 crore for the project while GHB will make its own contribution. Currently, GHB has started constructing 2,132 flats in a 13-storey complex for low income and medium income groups at Munjka in Rajkot, Tarsali in Vadodara, and Ganeshpura in Surat. The flats will be allotted at a cost ranging from Rs 9 lakh to Rs 19.75 lakh with the construction area ranging from 681 sq ft to 971 sq ft.

GHB has planned to build houses during the coming months in Ahmedabad, Sanand, Mahemdavad, Bharuch, Valsad, Jamnagar and Bhuj on land which is already in its possession.

Gujarat Housing Board has a total of 600 acre in its possession and till now it has provided 1,76,000 affordable houses to the people of Gujarat.
