Deli Serdang wins award for implementing three million homes programme

Deli Serdang (ANTARA) - The Deli Serdang Regency Government in North Sumatra has won the Best Regency-Level Government award in the Implementation of the Three Million Homes Programme category at the 2026 Batch 2 Regional Sumatra Outstanding Local Government Appreciation event organised by the Ministry of Home Affairs.

“This award is an appreciation of the Deli Serdang Regency Government’s commitment to supporting the acceleration of providing decent housing for the community through the Three Million Homes Programme,” said Deli Serdang Regent Asri Ludin Tambunan in Medan on Thursday.

As part of the appreciation, Deli Serdang Regency also received assistance from the Ministry of Home Affairs for a programme to renovate 300 uninhabitable houses (RTLH) for residents in need.

The regent said the award and support serve as motivation to continue strengthening efforts to provide decent housing for the community.

“This award is an appreciation of the commitment and hard work of all parties in supporting the provision of decent housing for the community. For us, this achievement is not merely an award, but a mandate as well as motivation to continue strengthening efforts to provide decent, safe and affordable housing for the community,” he said.

The regent emphasised that meeting housing needs is an important part of improving the quality of life for the community. Decent housing not only provides shelter, but also serves as a foundation for a more prosperous family life.

“I believe that every family has the right to a home that provides comfort, safety and serves as a foundation for a more prosperous life,” he stressed.

In supporting the Three Million Homes Programme, the Deli Serdang Regency Government has taken various steps, including accelerating the permitting process, waiving Building Approval (PBG) fees for low-income residents in accordance with regulations, and preparing land to support housing provision.

The assistance to renovate 300 uninhabitable houses is expected to further strengthen the Deli Serdang Regency Government’s efforts to improve housing quality and community welfare.
