INEQUALITY has many facades. While it is often measured in monetary terms, there are different forms like social inequality, political and economic imbalances and so on.

The stark reality is that inequality seems the most obvious and painful in public housing. While the poor, weak and marginalised may fight against perceptions of injustice, real or otherwise, and are ignored, there are those who do not know – or do not know what to do – when they have fallen by the wayside as they try to climb the economic ladder.
