Self-Help Housing Stimulus Programme in East Lombok Reaches 1,412 Units

The Head of the Housing and Settlement Area Service (Perkim) of East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB), Mudahan, stated that the Self-Help Housing Stimulus Programme (BSPS) for the 2026 budget in the region has reached 1,412 units. ‘From provisional data that has cleared the application and been verified by the ministry, it is 1,412 units. There are around 1,900 that have not yet cleared. We are currently processing these together with the Social Service and the Population and Civil Registration Service of East Lombok,’ said Mudahan in East Lombok on Wednesday. He noted several issues preventing the data of prospective programme recipients from being cleared, including problematic national identification numbers (NIK). ‘Some still depend on their parents’ family registration card, even though they are already married,’ he said. Additionally, there are issues related to the Indonesia Single Socio-Economic Data (DTSEI) at the Social Service, where data in deciles 1 to 4 can be automatically read by the system. Changes to the data must be proposed by the village through the SIKS-NG operator. ‘The proposal must come from the village. There is an operator officer in the village who inputs and proposes it to the Social Service, then the Social Service forwards it to the central government. At the central level, the process takes three to six months before it can be cleared,’ he explained. He stated that the BSPS quota for East Lombok from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing this year is 1,412 units, and this figure is not yet final because the central government does not release the allocation all at once. ‘It has reached the 8th stage. We are waiting for two more stages. The release is at the 8th stage, while from East Lombok’s own regional budget, it is already at 192 units,’ he said. He added that the total BSPS quota for NTB, in accordance with the directive from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, is 6,418 units. ‘We already have 1,412 units. Colleagues at the Ministry’s Housing Centre are currently conducting verification and selection of facilitators,’ he said. His office continues to coordinate with villages to expedite data correction so that the remaining 1,900 prospective recipients can be processed promptly and ultimately improve community welfare. ‘This programme is expected to improve welfare,’ he stated.
