Housing for evicted people

Housing for evicted people

From Warta Kota

With the frequent evictions taking place in Jakarta and its
outskirts, it is necessary for the provincial administration to
relieve the suffering of the homeless poor, who are still badly
needed as manual laborers in various projects and services in the
city.

This can be done by building low-cost apartments in several
areas of Jakarta with funds from the provincial budget and
donors. With government subsidies, the occupants of these
residences can pay small monthly installments.

In the meantime, other regions should warn their citizens
against moving to Jakarta to try and make a living unless they
have secured proper jobs and fixed places of abode before coming
to the capital. Otherwise, the complicated eviction problem and
its tragic consequences will keep recurring.
