As centre pulls out, activists want TN scheme for homeless
The New Indian Express Vellore
|September 14, 2025
A group of 74 activists, academicians and civil society representatives has urged the state government to evolve a state-specific scheme for people in homeless situations, citing a critical funding and continuity gap after the union government withdrew support for the Shelter for Urban Homeless (SUH) programme under the National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM).
They noted that the state-level monitoring committee for shelters has not convened since August 2019 and called for its immediate revival to ensure oversight, coordination and accountability. Highlighting a pattern of repeated disruptions to the SUH scheme since 1992, they said these interruptions have undermined the sustainability of interventions and the rights of homeless persons to shelter and dignity.
