RECENTLY, while visiting a family member who lives in a public housing project, I found myself profoundly appreciative of the affordable housing programme in our country. Having a roof over our head is a basic necessity, and it’s heartening to know that the government prioritises the people’s access to affordable housing.
However, providing affordable housing is just one aspect in ensuring a dignified life for the people. There are many other factors we must consider to ensure that residents can lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
