About the CHL Group
Community Housing Ltd (CHL) Group originated in Australia in 1993 with a vision to end housing poverty in the world. It is now the leading not-for-profit provider of affordable housing in the country and a registered charity.
Over the past 29 years, CHL has expanded its operations to different parts of the world including South Asia, South-East Asia, South America, and sub-Saharan Africa. This includes countries like Chile, Peru, India, Indonesia, and Timor-Leste.
CHL Group is dedicated to offering good-quality, affordable, and sustainable housing in regions where there is a great need for it. The Group is focused on creating housing options for people who are having difficulty finding a place to live, and they continuously work on improving its services for its residents and customers. Their goal is to help residents living in their homes have stable lives, raise families, find employment or pursue education, and have enough income to live comfortably on a daily basis.
In India, CHL aims to assist people who are disadvantaged due to disparities in the local housing market. They do this by helping these individuals find a way to secure housing, recognising that long-term rental or owning a home is one of the ways that people can build the life they want for themselves.

Based in Ahmedabad, CHL BDS, part of the CHL Group manages the development of affordable housing projects in India. We established our operations in Gujarat in 2017. We are a registered builder under RERA.
In 2018-19, CHL BDS created a joint venture entity with local developers, Shivdhan Community Housing Private Limited, and launched an affordable housing project called ‘Pooja Heaven’ in Dehgam near Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
The project comprises 134 apartments for low-income groups of which 56 are two-bedroom apartments and 78 are three-bedroom apartments along with 32 shops. The construction is well underway with the project due for completion in 2024.
There is strong interest from the members of the local school teachers and other low-income government employees in this project.
