Millions of people around the world face challenges in finding adequate and affordable housing.

Housing is not just a basic need, but a fundamental human right.

However, adequate housing means more than just having a roof over our heads.

A home needs to provide shelter, safety, and comfort, as well as instill a sense of pride, dignity and the opportunity to lead better lives for those who dwell in them.

This is especially true for Malaysia’s low and medium-income groups—the B40 and M40.

For decades, the government has tried to remedy this problem through the introduction of programmes like the People’s Housing Project or better known as PPR (Projek Perumahan Rakyat), which is supposed to provide affordable and comfortable homes for B40 and M40 citizens.
