About the Project

Launched in 2025, the “Transitional Housing Emergency Network” project aims to be a city-wide endeavor that would address the needs of those who live without shelters in the city of Delhi. The project structure is divided into segments, each with a particular focus. On the one hand, the work would be to provide immediate shelter and support services to urban migrants and displaced groups in Delhi. On the other hand, the project will develop long term solutions to provide skill-based training to the socioeconomically disadvantaged group, and organize an action network of public and private sectors that can provide continuous aid to the targeted group.  

The first step for the project to meet its end will be to reach out to those children who belong to the migrant groups residing in Delhi to gather thorough information from them about their emotional and psychosocial conditions in the aftermath of the migration of their families. This survey would focus on understanding their challenges in terms of educational plans and social integration to eventually become a recommendation report for policymakers and educational institutions to provide relevant support and peer group set-up to these young ones. After gathering the required information from the survey to understand the existing knowledge amongst migrant groups about support schemes, the project will bring out an open-access database that will outline the appropriate government schemes, support mechanisms, and services that are meant to safeguard the interests of urban migrant groups. The database will also inform the targeted community about avenues for them to access housing assistance, skill training programs, and healthcare services.  

To provide more tangible support, the project would also organize a fundraiser, the proceeds from which will be used to provide immediate relief to the homeless groups in Delhi, with the aim that the same will be developed as a long-term solution. The funds would primarily be used to provide housing relief, food distribution drive, and to launch a transitional housing project. The latter will be organized with the project NGO partner to address specific needs of the displaced families in terms of counseling, legal assistance, and vocational training. This component will be monitored with the support of social workers and housing experts who will partner with the project.
