        "summary": "Members of West Java's DPRD Commission IV are pushing for the continuation of the elevated house construction programme in Bekasi's Pondok Gede Permai area to aid flood-affected residents. Currently, around 80 residents remain without assistance, with only 10 units built in 2026 and 8 the previous year, highlighting the need for sustained provincial government support to mitigate annual flooding risks. The initiative, budgeted at Rp 125 million per unit, utilises durable precast concrete structures designed for safety and comfort, potentially reducing flood impacts significantly for vulnerable communities.",

Faizin,\nare urging the continuation of the elevated house construction for\nflood-affected residents in the Pondok Gede Permai area, Bekasi City.\nThis is important so that assistance can reach all residents in\nneed.<\/p>\n<p>According to Faizin, there are currently around 80 flood-affected\nresidents who have not yet received elevated house assistance.\nMeanwhile, in 2026, only 10 units were built, and in the previous year,\n8 units were realised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope this programme continues to be developed so that all\nflood-affected residents can receive the same solution. That way, the\nimpact of flooding can be minimised significantly,\u201d said Faizin after\ninspecting the construction progress on Tuesday (5\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that support from the West Java Provincial Government\nis very much needed for the programme to run sustainably. This is\nbecause the Pondok Gede Permai area is a region that is almost annually\naffected by flooding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis area is a regular victim of annual flooding. With the elevated\nhouse concept, residents are expected to remain safe even if water\ninundates the lower part of the house,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The elevated house programme is one of the solutions initiated by the\nWest Java Provincial Government in addressing flood impacts. With a\nbudget of around Rp 125 million per unit, the construction not only\nprioritises safety aspects but also the comfort of the occupants.<\/p>\n<p>The elevated houses are designed with an open lower section that can\nbe utilised as additional space. In addition, the building structure\nuses national standard (SNI) precast concrete materials, which are\nconsidered strong and habitable.<\/p>\n<p>Faizin added that the installation of the main structure can be\ncompleted in two days, while the overall construction requires about\nfour months until it is ready to be occupied.<\/p>",
