Tata Trusts has joined hands with Brick Eagle Foundation to design an affordable housing pilot project at Karjat on the outskirts of Mumbai.
Tata Trusts has offered a grant to Brick Eagle Foundation for research on customer needs, industry best practices and scalable and sustainable construction technologies. All of the above will culminate into construction of homes that are based on participatory designs.
The project is expected to be completed in two years, the company said in a statement.
“This project will provide a critical perspective to understand the housing needs of the economically weaker sections (EWS) and lower income group (LIG) population,” said Shikha Srivastava, Lead, Urban Poverty Alleviation and Livelihoods portfolio, Tata Trusts.
While Brick Eagle Group serves the lower income group segments through its commercial ventures, the foundation is its non-profit division that works closely with the economically weaker section segment.
