Telangana Housing Board
Government of Telangana
The Telangana Housing Board has come into existence with effect from 02.06.2014 under the Telangana Housing Board Act, 1956 by merging the erstwhile City Improvement Board and erstwhile Town Improvement Trust of Twin Cities.
The Ex-City Improvement Board was formed in 1911 as a result of large-scale devastation which the city of Hyderabad suffered due to the Moosi Floods in 1908. Its main function was to attend to the general improvement of the city, opening out congested areas, forming roads, constructing houses by removing slums, and improving general sanitary conditions to safeguard public health.
The Town Improvement Trust of Secunderabad was formed in the year 1931 with similar objectives, with an emphasis on land development.
