Housing Ministry accelerates priority public housing programmes

Jakarta (ANTARA) – The Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) is accelerating its priority public housing programmes while strengthening transparency and accountability in the management of state funds.

PKP Secretary-General Didyk Choiroel said that, as at 1 November 2026, the ministry had spent Rp8.62 trillion, or 68.79 per cent of its budget ceiling following adjustments to additional spending allocations.

“The ministry is working to raise budget realisation to 94.60 per cent by early December and 97.37 per cent by the end of 2026,” Didyk said in a statement in Jakarta on Tuesday.

He said the report reflected the ministry’s commitment to ensuring that public funds are managed effectively, efficiently, transparently and accountably. It also supports the national housing development agenda under the spirit of “Working Together to Build Homes for the People”.

Didyk said 92.64 per cent of the ministry’s budget had been allocated to expenditure supporting physical housing programmes, while 7.36 per cent was earmarked for management support.

The Self-Help Housing Stimulant Assistance Programme, known as Bedah Rumah or the Home Renovation Programme, is a key priority. It has been allocated Rp8.64 trillion, or 68.98 per cent of the total budget presented. The funding is intended to improve 400,000 uninhabitable homes across Indonesia.

Fitrah Nur, Director-General of Housing Areas and Settlements at PKP, said physical progress under the Home Renovation Programme had reached 83.11 per cent nationwide, equivalent to 332,453 homes out of the 400,000-unit target.

Financial realisation for the programme stood at Rp7.1 trillion, or 82.24 per cent of the available budget ceiling.

The programme is supported by three directorates-general, with targets divided according to housing needs in different types of areas. The Directorate-General of Rural Housing is responsible for 160,000 homes, while the Directorate-General of Settlement Areas and the Directorate-General of Urban Housing are each responsible for 120,000.

According to a regional progress recap, West Java ranked first, with 48,774 homes completed against a target of 49,880, or 96.85 per cent. The Special Region of Yogyakarta followed at 96.84 per cent, Bali at 95.90 per cent, Riau at 95.64 per cent and Bengkulu at 95.63 per cent.

Among regional implementation offices, BP3KP Jawa III recorded the highest budget realisation at 79.69 per cent. It was followed by BP3KP Sulawesi III at 74.29 per cent, BP3KP Sulawesi I at 71.50 per cent, BP3KP Maluku at 70.17 per cent and BP3KP Kalimantan II at 70.03 per cent.

The results will inform the ministry’s continued coordination with local governments and programme implementers, to ensure assistance is delivered in accordance with the rules, reaches its intended recipients and provides tangible benefits to communities.
