We're not talking about a zero-sum game where there's X dollars for housing and either you house some people safely or house everyone. Turkey has been expanding it's military spending significantly since Erdogan came to power - it's not unrealistic to imagine some of that revenue could have been redirected to subsidized housing projects and the like.
