Urban Development India

As population increases a need for the basic necessity such as houses, water supply, etc increases. This is what causes urban development. As the demand of housing increases, cities begin to expand into new areas. With urban population expanding rapidly over the last 50 years, many Asian cities face deteriorating urban infrastructure and services on water supply, sanitation, waste management, and transport; and worsening environmental conditions. The world population is estimated to be near 6 billion. As populations continue to grow the demand for more housing will continue and we will see new developments.

CHF International serves as a catalyst in communities to provide families with the resources they need to obtain or improve upon their existing houses. CHF helps families access housing schemes provided by governments or donors and leverages the support of private sector partners wherever possible. CHF’s urban development India programs leverage the local economic development opportunities of housing programs by facilitating vocational training for community members, hiring them whenever possible, and facilitating other urban infrastructure upgrades.

In the process of learning how to improve their living environments, our programs expand representative community groups’ abilities to complete additional projects on their own. They learn how to work transparently with contractors, mobilize physical and financial resources, report on project progress to their communities, develop new leadership skills, and hold their governments accountable. As a pioneer in housing microfinance, CHF also works to promote access to the credit and financial services people need to improve their living conditions and realize their dreams.
