Having a roof over one's head is the dream of all individuals.

Both Central and State Governments have introduced several measures to provide housing facilities for the poor.

One such scheme suggests that the poor could construct a house for themselves budgeted at Rs. 40,000/-. Government will provide building materials worth Rs. 30,000/- and the balance should be contributed by the beneficiaries in the form of cash and hard labor.

Many deserving beneficiaries are very poor and infirm to either provide the cash component or do hard labor to construct the house for themselves.

Under the circumstances, if TNF members could provide a donation of $200 per house, in coordination with the agencies concerned, Tamil Nadu Foundation can provide houses to the poor under Group Housing Scheme.

With a donation of $200 we will be able to collect Rs. 30,000/- from Government for the above housing project. The result: a modest home for a poor family.
