AbstractA shelter program in a developing country for the underprivileged calls for identification of resource potential, its mobilization and effective channeling. The instrument that acts as the conduit is a national policy. India, in spite of its pronounced commitment to shelter the shelterless, did not have until now any policy paper in this direction approved by its parliament or the government. There may still be a gap between the objective and the achievement but a beginning has been made. For a large country like India, where housing is a state subject and the policy centralized, there are bound to be areas of conflicts that will have to be streamlined during the next few years. The author, who had steered the national policy, brings out salient features which defines the role of the government as a facilitator rather than builder. The readers may find the paper interesting as it covers the entire gamut of the various aspects that requires government back-up which is a prerequisite for launching shelter programme at the national level particularly where resources militate against will.
