Kompas.com - Home Affairs Minister Muhammad Tito Karnavian has\nreaffirmed his commitment to supporting the realisation of the \u2018Three\nMillion Homes\u2019 programme. According to him, this initiative by President\nPrabowo Subianto is highly strategic in helping to improve the welfare\nof the people.<\/p>\n
Therefore, Tito invited regional leaders to seize the opportunity by\nutilising the programme to help the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis actually helps regional leaders as well. Because one of the\ntasks of regional leaders is to improve the dignity of the people in\ntheir respective regions,\u201d he said in a press release received by\nKompas.com, Wednesday (25\/2\/2026).<\/p>\n
The statement was delivered by Tito at the Coordination Meeting for\nthe Acceleration of Housing and Settlement Development in the Main\nMeeting Room, Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri), Jakarta,\nWednesday.<\/p>\n
Tito affirmed that the Ministry of Home Affairs is committed to\ncontinuing to support the implementation of the programme, including\nthrough policies to waive building permit fees (PBG) and land and\nbuilding acquisition taxes (BPHTB) for low-income people.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that the price of these houses is affordable for low-income\npeople. Developers can sell them at a lower price by waiving PBG and\nBPHTB. However, PBG and BPHTB must be regulated by a Regional Regulation\n(Perkada). We have checked, and the Regional Regulations are all in\norder,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Tito said that the \u2018Three Million Homes\u2019 programme needs to be\nmaximised by local governments so that more people can benefit from\nit.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the region has a One-Stop Integrated Service (MPP), it will help\nbecause PBG and BPHTB have outlets, and the process can be completed\nquickly. In fact, some can be completed in one day or just a few\nminutes,\u201d said Tito.<\/p>\n
He believes that regions that have not optimised the MPP have the\npotential to hinder the realisation of the \u2018Three Million Homes\u2019\nprogramme. This is because people who want to access the programme have\nto go through a long licensing process, making its implementation less\neffective.<\/p>\n
For this reason, Tito asked regional leaders to work together to\nsupport the programme in order to address housing problems in their\nrespective regions.<\/p>\n
For information, the coordination meeting was also attended by the\nMinister of Housing and Settlement (PKP) Maruarar Sirait and his staff,\nHead of the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) Amalia Adininggar\nWidyasanti and her staff, Commissioner of the People\u2019s Housing Savings\nManagement Agency (BP Tapera) Heru Pudyo Nugroho, and other related\nparties.<\/p>\n
Also present were the Governors of North Sumatra (Sumut) Muhammad\nBobby Afif Nasution, Riau Islands Ansar Ahmad, Central Java (Jateng)\nAhmad Luthfi, East Java (Jatim) Khofifah Indar Parawansa, East Nusa\nTenggara (NTT) Emanuel Melkiades Laka Lena, Papua Mathius D Fakhiri, and\nVice Governor of Aceh Fadhlullah.<\/p>\n
