In a major boost to urban housing infrastructure, Chief Minister MK Stalin on Monday inaugurated over Rs 900 crore worth of housing projects undertaken by the Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board (TNUHDB) and the Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB).

The newly inaugurated projects include 4,184 new multi-story apartments developed by the TNUHDB at a cost of Rs 541.32 crore, and 1,459 rental houses and commercial buildings constructed by the TNHB for government officers at a cost of Rs 382.84 crore. This significant investment reflects the state government’s commitment to addressing urban housing needs and improving living standards for residents.

The TNUHDB tenements inaugurated by Chief Minister Stalin feature several key developments:

Each apartment developed by the TNUHDB measures 400 square feet and includes a multi-purpose hall, bedroom, kitchen, and toilet. The apartments are equipped with essential amenities such as drinking water, tarred roads, sewage systems, and storm water drainage facilities. To ensure the upkeep and management of these residential complexes, resident welfare associations will be established under the “Nam Kudiyiruppu, Nam Poruppu” (Our House, Our Responsibility) initiative.
