This body undertook construction of residential buildings under various housing schemes for different sections of society.

On the re-organization of the State, the Vidarbha Housing Board (VHB) was established in 1960 as a successor body to the erstwhile Madhya Pradesh Housing Board. It served the Amravati and Nagpur divisions of Maharashtra and its functions were similar to those of the MHB, except that it also advanced loan to co-operative housing societies, institutions, and local authorities for the construction of houses. The Bombay Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board was constituted in 1971. It was created to deal with the problems faced by tenants residing in dilapidated buildings in the Island City of Bombay and undertook its structural repairs and reconstruction to make them structurally sound and safe for habitation.

These activities were later extended to the remainder of Maharashtra upon the launch of the Maharashtra Housing & Area Development Authority (MHADA), as established by the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Act, 1976.
