A dwelling is one of man’s most basic needs. In Malaysia’s case, the National Housing Policy has made housing one of the main strategic mechanisms in eradicating poverty. This policy is seen to have a significant influence in dealing with the problems of excessive population growth and in-demand community development. For these reasons, a study on the status of one housing programme for the poor and those of the low-income bracket, namely the Low-Cost Housing Programme (LCHP), in influencing the quality of life of its target group was carried out. A field study was done to evaluate the consistency of the internal physical characteristics of the LCHP with the housing needs of the target group. A structured questionnaire was the main instrument utilised in the primary data collection of this study. Around 325 household heads of six flat-type LCHPs in Kuala Terengganu were involved in this study. The study’s findings are able to give positive implications in improving the planning and the policy of the LCHP as well as increasing the quality of life of the target groups.
