MASHAL's housing initiative focuses on securing safe, adequate, and affordable shelter for the urban poor, particularly slum dwellers and informal settlers. The organization facilitates community participation in housing planning, advocates for pro-poor housing policies, and collaborates with government bodies for the implementation of slum rehabilitation and housing schemes. By conducting detailed socio-economic surveys and promoting in-situ redevelopment, MASHAL ensures that housing solutions are need-based, sustainable, and integrated with essential infrastructure and basic services.

MASHAL's Livelihood and Empowerment initiatives aim to enhance the economic resilience and self-reliance of urban poor communities, especially women and youth. Through skill development programs, vocational training, and support for micro-enterprises, MASHAL creates pathways for sustainable income generation. The organization also facilitates the formation of self-help groups (SHGs), promotes financial literacy, and links beneficiaries with government schemes and employment opportunities. By empowering individuals with skills, resources, and confidence, MASHAL enables communities to break the cycle of poverty and build a dignified future.
