This Act provides homeless individuals residing on government land in Chhattisgarh's urban areas with legal leasehold rights for housing. It targets citizens who have lived continuously in an urban area on public land for at least six months, own no residential property elsewhere, and were in occupation before January 2023. By legalizing their occupancy and granting heritable leasehold rights up to sixty square meters, the legislation offers legal security and shelter stability, enabling the homeless to establish permanent homes without requiring land purchase or heavy financial investment.
