The government can take measures to support affordable housing, such as providing subsidies for the purchase or rental of housing for low-income families, regulating the real estate market to prevent speculation and artificial price inflation, and encouraging housing development through tax incentives or other financial measures.

These approaches can be complementary, and the effectiveness of the strategy will depend on the specific conditions of each region or country.
