Thirteen Thousand Border Residents Pass Verification for 2026 House Renovation Programme

The National Border Management Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (BNPP RI), in collaboration with the Ministry of Housing and Residential Areas (PKP), discussed the implementation of the programme to improve the quality of 15,000 uninhabitable houses (RTLH) through the Self-Help Housing Stimulant Assistance (BSPS) scheme for the 2026 ministerial/institutional proposal, on Friday (18/09/2026).

BNPP RI Secretary, Makhruzi Rahman, stated that from the proposed target of 15,000 RTLH units, 13,123 units, or 87.49 per cent, have been accommodated following the verification process. This achievement positions BNPP RI as the ministry/agency with the highest number of proposals passing verification.

“From the 15,000 units we proposed, 13,123 units or 87.49 per cent have been accommodated. We still have time to optimise the quota fulfilment until 25 September 2026,” Makhruzi said in a written statement on Friday (18/09/2026).

According to Makhruzi, fulfilling the remaining quota must be carried out through coordination with local governments. If there is still a shortage of data or proposals, local governments can complete their submissions in accordance with applicable regulations so that the target of 15,000 RTLH units can be met.

He added that coordination between BNPP RI, the Ministry of PKP, and relevant local governments needs to be strengthened, particularly in overcoming communication obstacles and increasing understanding regarding the mechanisms and allocation of the BSPS Programme in the regions.

“Coordination needs to be continuously strengthened so that local governments fully understand the BSPS mechanism and allocation. With good coordination, the process of fulfilling the quota and programme implementation in the regions can proceed more effectively,” said Makhruzi.
