2. In this program, affordable housing in partnership (AHP) is created.
Promotes construction of low-cost dwelling units by involving private and public sectors in the urban centers.
That leaves issues such as the reduction of construction costs while providing quality shelter to EWS in the foreground.
3. Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme, where the One Rupee Scheme is Subsidizes housing loans and cuts down costs on the interest rates on home loans.

Converts slum areas into habitable places without the inhabitants being evicted.
Supplies basic public utilities such as water, sewerage systems, and providing electricity.
