        "summary": "Indonesian lawmakers have called for using idle state-owned land to build subsidized housing, aiming to address the national housing backlog of 9.9 million households. The proposal seeks to lower construction costs and improve access to affordable, decent homes for low-income groups, in line with presidential directives to expand homeownership for informal sector workers and the poor.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - DPR member Sudjatmiko has urged the government\nto utilise idle state land for building subsidized housing for\nlow-income households (MBR).<\/p>\n<p>He stated that optimising state-owned land could address the national\nhousing backlog and reduce housing prices while accelerating the\nprovision of affordable housing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe utilisation of state land assets must be prioritised for the\npeople\u2019s benefit, especially in building homes for MBR. By optimising\nstate land, construction costs can be reduced, making housing more\naffordable for the general public,\u201d Sudjatmiko said in a written\nstatement on Thursday (28 May 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Such land could support housing development, particularly in urban\nareas and economic buffer zones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe national housing backlog remains a major challenge for the\ngovernment. Therefore, accelerating the construction of homes for\nlow-income groups is essential to ensure the public has access to\ndecent, healthy, and affordable housing,\u201d Sudjatmiko added.<\/p>\n<p>According to BPS data, Indonesia\u2019s housing backlog currently stands\nat approximately 9.9 million households.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccelerating the construction of people\u2019s housing is a tangible\nsolution to reduce social inequality and improve the quality of life for\nIndonesians,\u201d Sudjatmiko noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHousing is not merely a structure but the foundation of family\nwelfare. Therefore, meeting the need for decent housing for the public\nmust be a collective priority,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>According to Maruarar, the policy aligns with President Prabowo\u2019s\ndirective to increase homeownership access for low-income groups,\nincluding informal sector workers.<\/p>",
