After the Twelve Malaysia Plan, many Projek Perumahan Rakyat (PPR) homes were erected under the government's responsibility to provide housing for every household. However, based on the Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2020, several difficulties linked to low-cost housing were identified, including insufficient space standards, inadequate community services, a lack of parking places, high maintenance expenses, and poor quality of construction and materials in low-cost housing complexes. The supply of housing and urban infrastructure is connected. Accommodation cannot be sustainably built without infrastructure; thus, it must be considered as a whole. A sound waste management system, security, power, and portable water supplies should all be available in a perfect urban community. There are several challenges experienced in low-cost housing. Therefore, this research aims to identify the vulnerability in low-cost housing infrastructure services. Besides, it is to minimize the vulnerabilities in low-cost housing infrastructure services. Hence, the objectives of this research are to identify the factors that contribute to the problems in low-cost housing infrastructure services and to suggest strategies to minimize the vulnerabilities in low-cost housing infrastructure services. In order to achieve all of the objectives, a quantitative method is used. A 99 set of questionnaires were distributed to the PPR Seri Iskandar. The data were analyzed using SPSS and Likert Scale to obtain the mean and standard deviation. This study discovered that the community's careless attitude is the primary factor contributing to infrastructure issues. Consequently, the strategy that can be implemented to improve the problems is developing software and organizing campaigns
