Indonesia | Government Plans to Renovate 400,000 Low - Income Housing Units by 2026

The Indonesian Government plans to renovate 400.000 low - income housing units by 2026, driven by the Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas, to improve living standards for households in unsuitable housing.  

The government conveyed plans to improve the public renovation program this year, expected to achieve full coverage throughout the country to improve quality and foster economic equality. 

Actions include nation wide expansion, scaling to cover previously overlooked districts utilizing state - owned enterprises (SOE) land, building vertical, mixed use housing for affordability, and public - private partnerships.  

Compared to the previous year, where the goal was 45.000 homes, the jump to 400.000 represents a substantial increase, according to information from ANTARA, a news agency that delivers real time information on various events from Indonesia and around the world.

The program will not only increase in number of units, but will also be implemented on a national scale. The Minister of Housing and Settlements, Marurarar Sirait noted that 220 districts and cities were excluded last year, but it is expected that by 2026 full coverage will be achieved throughout the country

According to the Minister, this initiative seeks not only to provide decent houses, but also to promote economic equity in the regions, generating a significant stimulus for the local economy. 

In addition the Indonesian Government has been instructed by President Prabowo Subianto to use State land in urban areas, especially belonging to state - owned railway companies, for the purpose of building popular housing complexes. 

The Minister of Housing and Settlements has recently inspected several potential plots of land, such as Tanah Abang area of Jakarta, which will be developed as vertical dwellings with a mixed - use concept. 
Land is also being explored in Bandung, capital of Indonesia’s West Java province to begin development preparations by the end of the month. 

Key Features of the 2026 Renovation Plan

•    Scale and Coverage: The program intends to expand nationally, covering areas not included in previous years. 
•    Target Population: The initiative focuses specifically on improving housing for low – income households, addressing the prevalence of uninhabitable residential properties. 
•    Vertical Housing and Land Use: Under directives from President Prabowo, the government is utilizing estate – oened land, particularly from State – Owned Enterprises (SOEs) like PT KAI (railway operator) to build vertical housing with a mixed – use concept in urban areas.
•    Economic Impact: The renovation program is designed to act as a catalyst for economic growth, promoting equity in various regions.
•    Integrated Approach: The initiative is part of broader housing goals that include building subsizdized homes  and advancing the Stimulant Assistance for Self – Help Housing (BSPS) scheme to improve slum areas. 
•    Stakeholder Involvement: The planning involves collaboration with developer associations, state – run banks, and residents to ensure fairness and efficiency. 

The Minister of Housing and Settlements, Marurarar Sirait, said that this expansion responds to a directive from President Prabowo Subianto to accelerate the population’s access to decent housing.
