## ANSWER MINISTRY OF HOUSING & URBAN AFFAIRS

## [SHRI HARDEEP SINGH PURI]

(a) to (f): It  is  the  primary  responsibility  of  Governments  of  the States/Union Territories to provide shelter for the urban homeless. In order to complement and supplement the efforts of States/ UTs in this regard, Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs is administering a scheme 'Shelter for Urban Homeless' (SUH) as one of the components of

Deendayal  Antyodaya  Yojana  -  National  Urban  Livelihoods  Mission (DAY-NULM),  through  respective  States/UTs.    The  guidelines  of  SUH prescribe that systematic surveys would be undertaken in cities/towns by the local/municipal bodies so as to assess accurately the need for shelters at suitable locations.

As per the information received from the States/UTs, as on 06.12.2018, a total of 1776 shelters for urban homeless have been sanctioned by 25 states/UTs under DAY-NULM. Out of these, 1076shelters are operational and remaining are under construction /refurbishment. The city-wise details of sheltersoperational under DAY-NULM  are at Annexure-I.

The  initiatives  taken  by  The  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs include amendment of guidelines to enable taking buildings on rent for shelters,  as  an  interim  arrangement,  uploading  of  information  of shelters in DAY-NULM portal in public domain, directing the State/UT Governments to conduct third party systematic survey to identify urban homeless, and to keep the funds for SUH in a separate head of account by the States/UTs.

The operational guidelines of SUH  providethat States/ULBs may establish  special  Shelters  for  certain  segments  of  homeless  persons viz. old persons  without  care,  mentally or physically challenged, recovering  patients  and  their  families,  and  attendants  of  the  patients admitted in hospitals etc.
