I don't know what kind of 'aim' project that the government implemented to us.They give housing project to those people who lived in squatters area.or those who lived in hazardous place. no question on that.. But how about those families who are living in the street?? why don't they give priority to these people or for people like us who cannot afford to rent a house and only lived with my parents? why don't they consider?
Some of these families live are near in one of the leading television and radio station here . but those media just ignore these people.No one pays attention with this people. It's summer time.but I will prepare summer than rainy days because I don't know where these people sleep.
I hope they must be fair in giving housing project. some who avail this project are professional squatters as what they called. people who avail and later sell it's 'rights' to others.
Also in Housing project they only allow those who are married? but how about single parents? Their policies is unfair.

i dont think having a housing project is the best thing to do for our government.
it is much better to make more jobs for the people to let them do their own thing in making their lives better.
giving houses to illigal squatters is just like saying that doing illigal things is good and government will reward you with a house for doing it.
give them jobs and let them make themselves useful in the society.

very good answer. that is true. job to earn for living.many people are now jobless here because they are strict in age limit.Meaning even u a are qualified for the job and skilled.If you are 30+ of age.. that is nothing.. they should change it too.and it is much better too if they give priority to those who live in the street and give decent job to them.so they and their siblings will be able to survive for their everyday living.

thats true.if they cant give them jobs then at least teach them some livelihood programs for them to have more knowledge for earning.and government should create jobs by stating government owned business to employ those unemployed and not rely for private companies for employment because these people have no heart for the needy instead they only focus on earning more money.

I agree and understand you but I think what really needs by those homeless in the street are work not a house, Granting that the government provide them a house, what will happen next? later on they will sell the house for them to buy food to survive.
House is important but providing them a house is all temporary assistance, what they really needs is the permanent assistance and for me its " WORK" or SOURCE OF INCOME", if they have that they will eventually build their own houses.

You said it right that must be the top priority of the government here so they can survive for their living. if you have a good source of income or work then you will be able to provide the other things you need step by step.. The rest will follow.

Well I guess there are still loopholes in there to work on. But I think they have reason for that right now. The government cannot simply deliver housing for everyone right now because that would entail a lot of money and resources which the government does not have. I think that is the reason why the Magna Carta for the poor was not signed by the president because there is a provision for housing for the poor which says the poor has the right to demand housing support from the government.
Oh well that is a big responsibility to work on if that would be the case.

Better to do on your own than waiting. Worst case scenario, they will simply inform you that something came up wrong and you'll be left with meaningless apologies.
