Simple random sampling methodology and purposive sampling under the probability sampling method were employed for the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings show that residents of Asokore Mampong have been impacted due to the stalled housing interventions in the community. Also, criminals used the stalled housing as their residency posing threats to the indigenes of the community. The police made mention of some area in the community known as a hideout for criminals and gave out some precautious measures to the community residents.
