Free Housing Scheme in Uttar Pradesh:
UP government wants that no poor people should be ‘without a roof’. Residents of slum dwellers in urban areas are rehabilitated. Since the poor who do not have enough money to eat properly, it is impossible to raise money for the home, so the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has decided to provide free accommodation to such poor people.
Uttar Pradesh Free Housing Scheme will be launched in the name of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya. Apart from planning Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana UP, the government is providing affordable houses to poor under central sponsored Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
According to the sources, the housing department is planning to launch several different housing schemes for poor people in different parts of the country including Maharashtra, Gujrat and Madhya Pradesh. These free housing scheme will be launched soon and will be focused to provide benefit to the homeless poor in the country.
Currently, an ambitious housing named as Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana is running across the nation under which government is providing affordable houses to a weaker segment of the society. Under the scheme, the central government is providing the assistance of 1.5 lakh and the state will provide an assistance of Rs. 1.0 lakh. Besides a subsidy at the rate of 6.5 % will also be provided on the loan amount of Rs. 6.0 lakh.
The important component of this scheme:
- Free housing scheme aims to provide houses to people who are very poor or does not have their own house. Free Houses will be provided to them free of cost.
- Poor & Homeless people are the main beneficiaries of this housing scheme. Along with this government will provide houses at affordable cost to Low Income Group (LIG) candidates

The basis for selection of poor for the free house will also be done through the poor welfare card.
