The government is reportedly planning to dissolve the National Affordable Housing Development Authority (NAPHDA), raising concerns about the future of low-income housing projects across the country. Established to facilitate affordable housing under various schemes, NAPHDA’s dissolution could halt ongoing developments and undermine efforts to provide shelter to marginalized communities.
The move is said to be part of a broader restructuring plan within the housing sector, aimed at reducing administrative overlaps and financial burdens. However, critics argue that such a decision could delay or derail housing commitments made to the public, particularly under flagship welfare programs. Stakeholders are urging the government to reconsider or provide a clear alternative to ensure the continuity of affordable housing initiatives.
