Housing for the poor

My maid was saying that she does not own a house but rents one. That made me think that she may never own one no matter how hard she works. Kerala Govt in yesteryears gave housing to the poor. Perhaps Karnataka Govt should consider it too. In countries like Mexico if you have a job, you can buy a house, albeit small, which you can slowly pay off in a lifetime. Roti, kapada, aur makhan are fundamental rights of every human being. For hard working people this should be a goal that can be achieved.
