The Tamil Nadu Government has launched a dedicated website and mobile application for the Co-operative Housing Department to make housing-related services available online. The new platform will offer online plot sales, building rentals, marriage hall bookings and other services across co-operative housing societies.

Chennai: The Tamil Nadu Government has introduced a new digital platform for the Co-operative Housing Department, aiming to improve transparency and make housing-related services more accessible to the public.

Minister for Housing and Urban Development B. Rajkumar launched the department`s dedicated website and mobile application on Thursday at the Office of the Registrar of Co-operative Societies for Housing in Vepery, Chennai.

The website, www.rcshousing.com, and the mobile application named HOCO have been developed to modernise the department`s administrative activities and provide faster access to information and services.

For the first time in the history of Co-operative Housing Societies, online sales facilities have been introduced through the new platform. The initiative is expected to help the general public and beneficiaries access information about available services without depending entirely on traditional administrative procedures.

Online Services Available Through the New HOCO App

During the first phase, the website and HOCO mobile application will offer several online services related to Co-operative Housing Societies.

The services include:

Online Plot Sales: Residents and interested buyers can access information about plots offered under layout schemes implemented by Co-operative Housing Societies.
