Udagirinallappanahalli is a small village of 70–80 families, with nearly 25 households facing housing insecurity. The redevelopment initiative was conceived as a community-led process, with residents involved from design through construction.
Villagers collectively produced stabilised adobe blocks and participated in building six housing units. Each 425 sq.ft home comprises a core living area with a living space, bedroom, and kitchen, along with an annex housing the toilet, bathroom, and store.
The cost per house is ₹2.85 lakh, with homeowners contributing 12% of the construction cost and WeRise Trust supporting ₹65,000 per house, reinforcing shared ownership, dignity, and long-term sustainability.
