Purpose and scope
G.O.(Ms) No.63, issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu Housing and Urban Development [UHD2(3)] Department on 21 April 2022, establishes the Tamil Nadu Integrated Housing Information System within the Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board. It forms part of a prior action under the World Bank financed Second Tamil Nadu Housing Sector Strengthening Program.
The system is intended to improve the availability of housing information for government policy decisions and for investment decisions by private and non-government organisations. It will provide information about housing supply, demand and finance across market segments, locations and time periods.
Who it is intended to serve
The Tamil Nadu Integrated Housing Information System is intended for:
- Government housing institutions, to monitor the housing market, identify gaps and regulatory barriers, and design policies and regulations.
- Individuals, developers, real estate brokers and financiers in the private sector.
- Civil society organisations and academic researchers.
- Stakeholders developing home ownership, rental housing and housing finance options.
The system is also intended to help address the gap between market housing and the needs of economically weaker and socially vulnerable households.
Development and information covered
The Tamil Nadu Integrated Housing Information System will be developed in phases. Key provisions include:
- Consolidating existing housing databases and information available in the public domain.
- Collecting, curating and analysing data by housing market segment and location.
- Adding modules and submodules as institutional capacity grows.
- Gradually adding climate vulnerability and decarbonisation information at household and site levels.
- Publishing information on sustainability, resilience, climate risk exposure, green buildings, energy efficiency, access to jobs and services, neighbourhood density and land consumption.
- Publishing an Annual State of Housing Sector Report.
Budget is to be allocated for establishment and operation, including software, hardware and human resources.
