The Mumbai Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) conducted its inaugural online lottery for the Master List scheme, offering 265 tenants residing in transit camps larger homes as part of a redevelopment initiative. Winners of the lottery expressed joy and relief, with some receiving homes that are 100 square feet larger than originally allocated, marking a significant step in addressing housing challenges in the city.
The Master List scheme, launched by MHADA, seeks to address the housing needs of residents living in transit camps for decades, providing them with a chance to move into their own homes. These tenants, who had been displaced due to the dilapidation of their buildings or road widening projects, were included in the master list to ensure their eligibility for homes from the housing authority. The lack of a transparent system for home allocation and concerns about charges for additional areas had previously led to complaints.
During the lottery process, 265 residents from the master list were selected to receive homes through a computerized lottery system. The move aims to bring transparency to the distribution process and put an end to the prolonged wait for the original tenants and occupants.
The lottery results revealed that 172 residents secured flats with areas ranging from 301 to 400 square feet, while 10 applicants received flats between 401 and 500 square feet. Additionally, five applicants each secured flats with areas of 501 to 600 square feet and 601 to 700 square feet, and seven applicants obtained flats with an area of 753 square feet.
MHADA addressed concerns about additional charges for increased area by implementing a policy to provide an extra 100 square feet at a concessional rate, ensuring affordability for the lottery winners. The lottery system and the policy changes signify a positive move towards resolving housing challenges and fulfilling the long-standing aspirations of residents awaiting their own homes. The Master List scheme, with its emphasis on redevelopment and transparent allocation, reflects government efforts to enhance living conditions and provide sustainable housing solutions in Mumbai.
