The Mission aims to provide assistance to all States/UTs in addressing the housing requirement of the urban poor including slum dwellers [Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Low Income Group (LIG) Categories] through the following four verticals:

i. “In situ” Slum Redevelopment through private participation using land as resource (ISSR);
ii. Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS);
iii. Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP); and
iv. Subsidy for Beneficiary-Led individual house Construction or enhancement (BLC).

Government of India has recently launched a new CLSS scheme to provide interest subsidy for housing loans to eligible beneficiaries belonging to Middle Income Group (CLSS for MIG). The scheme is being implemented initially for a period of one year w.e.f 01.01.2017.
