Committee for the Right to Housing (CRH) emerged in 1985 as a response to SC judgment, which was against the pavement and slum dwellers in Mumbai. CRH as a matter of fact emerged historically at a juncture when eviction issues of the pavement dwellers had become quite grave and host of organizations, political as well as NGOs, autonomous groups, Church based organizations had been active on these issues. Initial thrust of CRH was to pressurize the government to prevent demolition of the habitations of pavement and slum dwellers. CRH has been involved in issues related to urban development, peculiar pattern of urbanization in this country, poor and specifically with regard to multi dimensions of urban slum problems ranging from sanitation, overcrowding, health, types of lands and ownership problems, problems related to eviction and rehabilitation, slum policy and legislation at the state as well as national level. CRH believes that manpower is the centre of development. So, CRH mobilizes and educate people on laws and its implementations.
