Bogor Regency Secures Historic 6,396 Home Renovation Aid Units for 2026

Bogor Regency (ANTARA) - Bogor Regent Rudy Susmanto said Bogor Regency in West Java has made history by securing an allocation of at least 6,396 units of Self-Help Housing Stimulant Assistance (BSPS) from the Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) in 2026.

Rudy made the statement in remarks received by Antara in Bogor on Friday, after meeting PKP Minister Maruarar Sirait at the PKP Ministry office in Jakarta on Friday evening to discuss the implementation of the housing programme in Bogor Regency.

“This is a new chapter in Bogor Regency’s history. We have received assistance for the construction of uninhabitable houses, or BSPS, amounting to at least 6,396 homes,” Rudy said.

He said the allocation serves as motivation for the Bogor Regency Government to continue improving services to the public, particularly in the provision of decent housing.

According to Rudy, Bogor Regency has the largest population of any regency in Indonesia. Based on data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the population of Bogor Regency stands at around 5.7 million, while according to the National Socio-Economic Single Data (DTSEN) it reaches approximately 6.19 million.

This situation, he said, means the need for decent housing in Bogor Regency remains very large, requiring support from the central government.

Rudy expressed appreciation for the PKP Ministry’s support in increasing the BSPS allocation for Bogor Regency. He also welcomed the possibility of an additional quota conveyed by the PKP Minister following an evaluation of the programme’s implementation.

“Earlier, the Minister also mentioned plans to increase the allocation. Of course, we will see how the evaluation turns out going forward, but this is a source of motivation for us to keep serving the public,” he said.

Meanwhile, PKP Minister Maruarar Sirait said the government would study the possibility of increasing the BSPS allocation for Bogor Regency if the programme’s implementation proceeds according to target.

“If they are indeed ready, we still have allocations available,” Maruarar said.

In addition to discussing the BSPS programme, Maruarar also plans to visit Bogor Regency in October 2026 to review the housing sector and promote the strengthening of the housing ecosystem involving micro, small and medium enterprises (UMKM), contractors and developers.
