Home Renovation Assistance: Targeted Support and Transparent Procurement

Jakarta (ANTARA) – October 2026 marks the second anniversary of President Prabowo Subianto’s administration. During this period, the government has continued efforts to provide adequate housing through the Three Million Homes Programme, including the Self-Help Housing Stimulant Assistance (BSPS), known as the Bedah Rumah home renovation programme.

BSPS provides stimulus assistance to low-income households to improve housing quality through renovation or the construction of new homes. The programme prioritises self-reliance—community awareness, willingness, ability and independence—reinforced by a spirit of mutual cooperation.

Bedah Rumah is one of the government’s efforts to improve housing quality, support poverty reduction, reduce social inequality and upgrade settlements. Adequate housing is not merely shelter; it also affects residents’ health and well-being.

The scale of the need demonstrates the importance of targeted efforts to improve housing quality. Accurate beneficiary selection and transparent procurement of building materials are therefore two key aspects of the Bedah Rumah programme.

Eligibility criteria and ‘People’s Tender’

One measure taken by the Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) is to establish eligibility criteria for Bedah Rumah assistance, referring to the National Single Social and Economic Data (DTSEN).

Recipients must be Indonesian citizens, be married and be registered in DTSEN. They must also own or have control of land, supported by clear and valid evidence of ownership or tenure.
