Background
The country’s poor, helpless people especially the rural poor, victims of river erosion, floods, cyclones, and tidal waves live a subhuman life due to a lack of habitable houses. It is very difficult for the underprivileged population to raise the one-time necessary funds to build a house as per the minimum requirement. In this context, the Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina launched the Housing Fund Program, a project of her own brainchild, to build housing for poverty-stricken rural homeless families, implemented through the listed NGOs/organizations of the Housing Fund Loan Program Fund. Apart from the construction of houses for the poor people of the country, the Housing Fund has taken steps to construct hostels/dormitories for the accommodation of workers working in garments and EPZs. Successful implementation of all these activities will play a supporting role in mainstreaming the underprivileged population of the society to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030 of the government.
