Houses for the poor

Every year due to cyclone, heavy rain, tornado and flood millions of huts, bamboo/tin shed houses get damaged, blown off, and destroyed; thus the poor become poorer. Our land and housing developers are constructing hundreds of flats/buildings one after another for the rich people. The present cost of a house/flat in Dhaka ranges from taka 75 lakh to 1 crore and above. Do the middle class and poor people afford to purchase a house/flat in Dhaka? Why don't our public and private sectors come forward to build low cost houses/flats for the middle class and lower class people? Why doesn't our government seek financial help/loan from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, ADP and World Bank to mitigate the sufferings of our poor people?
