"Social housing must be seen as a management responsibility by governments; within social improvement objectives with proper filtering of households and maintenance of social housing units, rather than just as a ‘construction’ solution (i.e. based on units built). In line with Dasar Perumahan Negara 2.0 (2018 – 2025) (DRN 2.0), an enabling policy framework should aim to create a progression which enable households to move from social renting to private renting and eventually achieve home ownership. Under this framework, there is a case to be made for social housing to be classified as transition housing but with an institutionalized pathway for eligible households to ‘graduate’ into the market sector. There is little merit in housing policies that solely focuses on the poor, in the hope that ‘the market’ will take care of the rest, without ensuring the proper functioning of the market."
