The Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Task Force\n(Satgas PRR) for Sumatra is continuing to accelerate the construction of\n37,373 permanent housing units (huntap) for communities affected by\ndisasters in Aceh. The provision of safe and habitable housing is a\npriority in the permanent post-disaster recovery programme for the\n2026-2028 period.<\/p>\n
Based on data from the Satgas PRR Command Post as of 23 July 2026, a\ntotal of 1,832 units, or 4.90 per cent of the total huntap requirement,\nare under construction. In addition, 401 units have been completed and\nare ready for use by affected communities.<\/p>\n
Safrizal ZA, Head of the Satgas PRR Aceh Regional Command Post, said\nthe government continues to push for huntap construction to proceed more\nquickly and simultaneously while still meeting technical requirements.\nIn 2026, the government has prepared a budget of around Rp2 trillion\nthrough the Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) to complete\npart of the housing requirement by December.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe government\u2019s current focus is the completion of permanent\nhousing. A total of 1,832 units, or 4.90 per cent, are under\nconstruction and 401 units have been completed. This year, a budget of\naround Rp2 trillion has also been allocated through the PKP Ministry to\ncomplete part of the huntap requirement by December 2026,\u201d said Safrizal\nin a written statement on Sunday (26\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n
The huntap construction forms part of Aceh\u2019s rehabilitation and\nreconstruction programme, which has been allocated Rp58.973 trillion.\nThis amount is the largest share of the total national post-disaster\nrehabilitation and reconstruction budget requirement of Rp101.166\ntrillion for the 2026-2028 period.<\/p>\n
Satgas PRR is ensuring that the acceleration of construction does not\nneglect safety and sustainability aspects. Huntap locations must comply\nwith spatial planning, have clear land legality, be safe from disaster\nthreats, and be supported by road access, clean water, electricity,\nsanitation and other basic infrastructure. Areas designated as red zones\nin spatial planning will not be used as settlement locations.<\/p>\n
The provision of huntap is being carried out through several schemes:\nthe PKP Ministry is building settlement areas on land that has been\ndeclared clear and clean, while the National Disaster Management Agency\n(BNPB) is handling in-situ construction on residents\u2019 own land. BNPB is\nalso disbursing stimulus assistance in phases for residents who meet the\nrequirements and choose to rebuild their houses independently.<\/p>\n
For construction through the PKP Ministry, the tender process is\nalready under way for locations that meet administrative and technical\nrequirements. Satgas PRR is pushing for the 2026 phase of construction\nto begin gradually in August across various regions of Aceh.<\/p>\n
The acceleration of huntap provision also involves various\ninstitutions and elements of society. The Coordinating Ministry for\nPolitical and Legal Affairs is building 104 units in North Aceh, while\nthe National Police (Polri) is contributing to huntap construction in\nAceh Tamiang. The Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation is also planning the\nconstruction of hundreds of housing units for affected communities.<\/p>\n
Safrizal revealed that a number of land issues are still being\nresolved together with regional governments. In Aceh Tamiang, one of the\nlocations in the PT Semadam area is still in the finalisation stage and\nis planned to begin construction in 2027.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, locations in Central Aceh and Gayo Lues have been agreed\nupon, but the land acquisition process is still under way in accordance\nwith regulations. Satgas PRR is urging that it be completed on time,\ntransparently and without compromising legal certainty.<\/p>\n
Previously, the Head of Satgas PRR, Muhammad Tito Karnavian, during a\nhybrid coordination meeting with the PKP Ministry, the Ministry of\nPublic Works and regional heads in Aceh on Tuesday (21\/7\/2026), also\nreminded regional heads in affected areas to be proactive in preparing\nland for huntap construction so that the recovery process can proceed on\ntime and on target.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/prr-task-force-completes-401-permanent-housing-units-in-aceh-1785055921", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
