DKI Jakarta targets 663 homes for renovation through Baznas housing improvement programme
Jakarta — Jakarta’s Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo has set a target of 663 homes to be renovated through the housing improvement programme in 2026 by the National Zakat Collection Agency (Baznas) and Jakarta Bazis.
“We are planning approximately 600 homes to be renovated. All 445 homes scheduled for 2025 have already been completed,” Pramono explained when met at Kemayoran in Central Jakarta on Monday.
Pramono has expressed support for achieving this target in the coming year. The programme aims to ensure that funds collected by Baznas Bazis can truly benefit the community.
“As part of demonstrating transparency, I am among those pushing for and approving the expansion of this housing improvement programme. This is to ensure that funds collected by Baznas/Bazis are genuinely utilised for less fortunate communities and residents,” said Pramono.
On the same occasion, Head of Baznas/Bazis Jakarta Akhmad H. Abubakar outlined the procedure for residents to register for the housing improvement programme.
“For residents wishing to access the housing improvement programme, they should report to their neighbourhood association (RT), then the district association (RW), and then to the subdistrict office. The subdistrict head will then report through their respective regional implementation head. In Central Jakarta, for example, it goes to the Central Jakarta regional implementation head alongside the city administrator,” explained Abubakar.
It is known that since 2019 until 2025, Baznas Bazis has renovated 3,509 homes. In detail, 706 homes in West Jakarta, 501 homes in Central Jakarta, 953 homes in South Jakarta, 1,162 homes in East Jakarta, 293 homes in North Jakarta, and 79 homes in the Thousand Islands.
Previously, Jakarta’s Deputy Governor Rano Karno expressed hope that government agencies within the Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) would have housing improvement programmes as a demonstration of care and communal spirit in improving residents’ welfare in the capital.
He noted that housing has become one of the main problems in Jakarta, with the current population exceeding the area’s capacity.
For this reason, Jakarta Provincial Government is constructing apartment buildings, which also aim to improve substandard residential environments.
