The Nashik Housing and Area Development Board, a unit of MHADA, has launched the online registration and application process for 493 homes under the 20 Percent Inclusive Housing Scheme. The initiative includes 202 flats available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The lottery process was officially launched at a special Go-Live event at the Nashik Board Office Committee Hall, led by Nashik Board Chairman Ranjan Thakre. The event was attended by Chief Engineer Dhirajkumar Pandirkar, Chief Officer Shivkumar Awalkanthe, Deputy Chief Officer Sandeep Karale, and other officials.

These housing schemes cater to the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and Lower Income Group (LIG) categories, with homes available in various Nashik locations, including Makhmalabad Shivar, Satpur Shivar, Pathardi Shivar, Vihitgaon Shivar, Hirawadi, Mhasrul Shivar, Tapovan Dwarka, Wadala Nashik Shivar, Pimpalgaon Bahula, Nandur Dasak, Deolali, and Mouje Dasak.
