BackgroundBased on statistic given by Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU, JPM), until October 2021, a total of 7,999 people have been categorized as impoverished or in extreme poverty in Kuala Lumpur.ChallengesThe number of houses that can be provided to accommodate urban poor is limited. Aside to that, challenges faced in changing the mindset and attitude of the Public Housing residents towards responsibility to pay their rent and vandalism.ObjectiveKLCH always looks for ways to implement any appropriate initiatives to further ensure that urban poverty can be eradicated and Kuala Lumpur will remain to be a safe and sustainable city for all to live in.
Several parties that are involved in implementation of poverty eradication in Public Housing other than KLCH are government agencies and NGOs.Improvements with awareness programmes in Public Housing play a role for local community to form good humanity along with increasing the economic status of the urban poor.Suitable strategies can be seen to prolong the activities that can give positive impact for long-term benefits.One of the initiatives that have been organized is Homeless Rescue Programme.
