Problematic subsidized housing

Director General of Public Works and Housing Infrastructure Financing,
Ministry of PUPR Eko D Heripoerwanto in a webinar discussion organized by the Public Housing Journalists Forum, stated that his party identified a number of problems in the subsidized housing program, both in terms of location and building quality. There are still many subsidized housing locations that do not refer to spatial and regional layouts, and the quality of housing does not meet functional standards. He gave an example, there is a subsidized housing project in Papua which is located in an ex-flood location whose handling has not been completed. This condition causes the fate of consumers to be in limbo because they cannot occupy houses that have been paid in installments through subsidized housing loans (KPR). There is also subsidized housing where the facilities and infrastructure are not yet complete, the electricity network is not yet available, and there is no public transportation. As a result, houses cannot be lived in. In addition, there are also cases where a number of subsidized houses have not been occupied for more than 1 year, rented out, and transferred before 5 years. This indicates that the subsidized housing program has not yet been targeted. To improve supervision, the government implements a digital-based information system application. The Main Director of the Center for the Management of Housing Financing Funds (PPDPP) of the PUPR Ministry, Arief Sabaruddin, added that low-income people have not fully become the subject of housing development and tend to be objects. The targeting of subsidized housing still needs to be improved. "It's right on target not only in terms of its designation, but also the quality of subsidized housing that must meet the eligibility standards," said Arief.
