Some of the proposals include multipurpose housing for working women on rental basis, neighbourhood care centre, Aadhaar Kendra, vending areas for women, shelters for homeless and housing for women.'' The low participation of women is attributed to the lack of housing for single women, cost of housing, limited care facilities for children of married women and single mothers, lack of skills, market/vending space and training facilities for informal sector women workers, lack of public conveniences and adequate transport. During the implementation of affordable housing, BMC plans to earmark some homes for single women and families were women are the sole breadwinners. In addition to this, the residential provision through multi-purpose housing for working women (MHWW) will be done on a rental basis and not on ownership basis. The BMC will provide plots of approximately 500 sq m in size at each administrative ward level for this purpose.
