The Task Force for Accelerating Rehabilitation and Reconstruction\n(Satgas PRR) following the Sumatra disaster has ensured that data for\nrecipients of temporary housing (huntara) and housing waiting funds\n(DTH) is continuously updated. The door remains open for proposals for\nnew recipients, including residents affected by hydrometeorological\ndisasters in the provinces of Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra.<\/p>\n
Head of the Aceh Regional Post for Satgas PRR, Safrizal ZA, conveyed\nthis while responding to a proposal for an additional 97 huntara units\nfrom the Regent of Aceh Tamiang, Armia Fahmi, in Aceh Besar on Tuesday\n(7 April). These huntara units are intended for residents who previously\nevacuated outside the area and are now returning to their places of\norigin.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs long as there are people reporting a need for huntara according\nto the criteria, it will still be processed. It cannot be closed even if\nlate; they are our people too,\u201d he stated in a written release on\nSaturday (11 April).<\/p>\n
He emphasised that although the proposal was submitted late, Satgas\nPRR will still process it, preceded by field verification. The team will\ncheck the condition of house damage and ensure land availability for\nhuntara.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe proposal for the Regent of Aceh Tamiang will be processed\nimmediately; we will check it because it has been submitted by name and\naddress, then we will match it with BPS data and NIK; those who are\nentitled will be built for immediately,\u201d said the Director General of\nRegional Administration at the Ministry of Home Affairs.<\/p>\n
Safrizal added that Satgas PRR is also opening the same opportunity\nfor other regional governments wishing to propose new DTH recipients.\nThis step is taken to ensure no survivors are missed in the data\ncollection.<\/p>\n
Based on Satgas PRR data as of 9 April 2026, 18,678 huntara units out\nof a total of 20,378 have been completed in the three affected\nprovinces, achieving 91% progress. In Aceh, 16,853 out of 18,524 units\nhave been completed, or 90% progress.<\/p>\n
In North Sumatra, 995 out of 1,024 units have been completed with 97%\nprogress. Meanwhile, in West Sumatra, all 830 planned units have been\nfully built, achieving 100%.<\/p>\n
In addition to huntara, Satgas PRR is also distributing DTH to\nsurvivors who choose not to live in huntara. DTH assistance is provided\nat Rp600,000 per month for three months, so each family head receives a\ntotal of Rp1.8 million.<\/p>\n
DTH distribution has reached 100% for 14,750 recipients in the three\nprovinces. The details are: Aceh with 8,684 recipients, North Sumatra\nwith 4,162 recipients, and West Sumatra with 1,904 recipients.<\/p>\n
Previously, the Head of Satgas PRR for the Sumatra Post-Disaster,\nMuhammad Tito Karnavian, stated that accelerating huntara construction\nis part of the strategy to quickly bring survivors to decent housing.\nHowever, he emphasised that permanent housing (huntap) construction must\nbe the top priority.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe establishment of permanent huntap must be the utmost priority\nbecause we certainly hope the community does not have to stay in huntara\nfor too long; each one expects the government to build housing for their\nhomes,\u201d he said after the Coordination Meeting of the Satgas PRR\nSteering Team at the Complex of the Ministry of National Development\nPlanning and Culture, Jakarta, on Monday (6 April).<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/prr-task-force-ensures-data-for-huntara-and-dth-recipients-continuously-updated-1775919055", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
