Proposal to an In House Organisation

Background

In every country, the living area comprises of 1/3 while the rest of the country has been discrete. This is that part where people do not have the proper set of living standards rather they are living in very poor condition. In UK and USA, main cities separated form those areas where population is very low. Hence, these people are always lack in housing, or if they have a house they are not in perfect condition. However, to understand and solve the problems, housing policies and intervention developed. Though the majority of the people in UK and USA are living in a well organized house but few are facing certain housing problems like paying more than ½ of their income for housing or living in crowded or substandard housing (www.publications.parliament.uk).

Thus, only 8.5% of homes empty, i.e., 13,730 homes were found in the capital. They are, therefore, older homes and in many cases, not adapted to current needs, and current models of the family. Homes are usually medium or small but with many rooms.

It is the duty of each of the States to identify the needs of the population in housing and design the necessary legislative and fiscal measures in each case to ensure this right to each of its citizens. For the proper design of these measures requires an analysis of ...
