Essay: Housing for Homeless by Government

Some people believe that the government should pay for and offer housing to people who lost their homes or cannot afford them. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
----------------------
I fully agree that government must help the homeless. In this essay I shall elaborate my point of view.

Government by definition means a group of people elected by the majority of the population to govern a country or a state. Government is necessary to the existence of civilised society. It is responsible for a good governance and administration in the interest of the population by large. The government must have foolproof “Disaster Management Plans”, “Contingencies Plan” and “Civil Defence Plan with adequate funds to cope with such unforseen force majeure.

Due to natural calamities like earth quakes, tsunami, and floods etc the houses and buildings collapse and cause loss of man and material. Many people die and several become orphan and are left alone in this world to struggle till death. People sustain severe physical injuries. The injuries may be to an extent of partial or permanent partial or total disablement to an extent of losing limbs even. Those who survive are rendered homeless and penny less which is extremely pathetic. Hence as a part of good governance and administration government must ensure the rehabilitation victims how best it can.

In nut shell, Government by definition itself means a group of people elected by the majority of the population to govern a country or a state. Government is necessary to the existence of civilised society. It is responsible for good governance and administration in the interest of the population by large. We must consider that "shelter" is a basic human need and right as well. Hence government must ensure adequate rehabilitation of victims of such disasters and those homeless who are below poverty line.
