This initiative aligns with the government's Three Million Houses programme under President Prabowo Subianto and the Asta Cita vision, aiming to enhance worker welfare, reduce commuting risks, and boost local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). During his visit, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan CEO Saiful Hidayat engaged directly with residents, who praised the affordable rents, adequate facilities, and security, reinforcing the commitment to expanding such projects for broader worker protection.",
        "content": "<p>Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS) Ketenagakerjaan has\nlaunched three Griya Pekerja housing complexes in Batam to meet the\nneeds of workers for decent and affordable accommodation. The three\nhousing units are located in Bumi Lancang Kuning, Muka Kuning, and\nKabil. The occupancy rate has reached 98 per cent, with around 5,000\nactive workers as residents. This data indicates the high demand for\ndecent housing in strategic industrial areas. BPJS Ketenagakerjaan\nPresident Director Saiful Hidayat emphasised that Griya Pekerja\nrepresents a tangible expression of the organisation\u2019s care for its\nparticipants, in line with its principles of coverage, care, and\ncredibility. \u201cGriya Pekerja is a real contribution from BPJS\nKetenagakerjaan in supporting the government\u2019s vision to achieve\ncomprehensive welfare and protection for all Indonesian workers,\u201d said\nSaiful in a press release received by Kompas.com on Sunday (5\/4\/2026).\nFurthermore, he stated that Griya Pekerja also serves as support for the\nThree Million Houses programme initiated by President Prabowo Subianto.\nThe programme aligns with the government\u2019s Asta Cita, particularly in\nefforts to build quality and competitive human resources (SDM), as well\nas to improve welfare for all Indonesians, including workers. It should\nbe noted that Griya Pekerja is built near industrial areas, with the aim\nof improving travel efficiency and reducing traffic accident risks for\nworkers. In addition to providing housing for workers, the presence of\nGriya Pekerja is also seen to have an economic impact on the surrounding\ncommunity, particularly through the growth of micro, small, and medium\nenterprises (UMKM) in the housing environment. Saiful said that his\nvisit to Griya Pekerja in Batam was not only to inspect the facilities\nbut also to engage in direct dialogue with the workers living in the\narea. \u201cThe most important thing is that we also want to hear directly\nfrom some residents about what the workers feel when using the Griya\nPekerja facilities,\u201d he said. One story came from a worker from Duri\nnamed Reno, who has been living in Griya Pekerja Lancang Kuning, Batam,\nfor eight months. According to him, the available facilities are\nadequate, security is supportive, and the rental costs are affordable.\n\u201cThe significant benefits felt by the workers become the drive for us to\ncontinue developing Griya Pekerja, so that more workers can experience\ndecent and affordable housing,\u201d said Saiful.<\/p>",
