In the winter of 2010 reports of homeless deaths on the streets of New Delhi moved the Supreme Court to mandate that cities construct at least 1 homeless shelter for 100 people in every jurisdiction with a population of 100,000 residents – an estimated incidence of 0.10 percent incidence of homelessness in urban India.
The shelters were ordered to be equipped with clean water, sanitation, livable conditions and provisions for securing identification and were later codified into the National Policy on the Urban Homeless, which finances the construction and maintenance of shelters throughout the country.
IHRN curates research, policy documents and analysis on the number and quality of shelters in cities to better understand the impact of the national policy on the lives of homeless people.
