The Maharashtra Housing & Area Development Authority (MHADA) has been established by the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Act, 1976. It came into existence on 5th December 1977. Prior to the establishment of MHADA, the following statutory bodies were in existence.
1) The Maharashtra Housing Board.
2) The Vidharbha Housing Board.
3) The Bombay Buildings Repairs and Reconstruction Board.
4) The Maharashtra Slum Improvement Board.
The Maharashtra Housing Board formerly called “Bombay Housing Board” was established in 1948 and had jurisdiction over the entire State of Maharashtra except Vidharbha. This body undertook construction of residential buildings under various housing schemes for different sections of the society.
The allotment and maintenance of these buildings was being looked after by it. On the re-organization of the State, the Vidharbha Housing Board was established in the year 1960 as a successor body to the erstwhile Madhya Pradesh Housing Board.
Its functions were similar to those of the Maharashtra Housing Board, except that it also advanced loan to co-operative housing societies, institutions and local authorities for the construction of houses. The Bombay Buildings Repairs and Reconstruction Board was constituted in 1971.
It was created to deal with the problems faced by tenants residing in dilapidated buildings in the Island City of Bombay and undertook its structural repairs and reconstruction, so as to make them structurally sound and safe for habitation.
The Maharashtra Slum Improvement Board was constituted in 1974, with intention to provide basic amenities, such as water taps, drainage, pathways, latrines and streetlights etc. in slums. To begin with, its activities were confined to the Mumbai City and Mumbai Suburban Districts. These activities were later extended to the other parts of the State.
The MHADA has been established with a view to integrate the activities and functions performed by statutory bodies to provide for comprehensive co-ordinate approach to the problems of housing.
