Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta.  President Prabowo Subianto has instructed the Ministry of Public Housing and Spatial Planning (PKP) Maruarar Sirait   to use state assets, including land seized from corruption cases, for building homes for low-income communities.

Minister Maruarar, speaking after a restricted meeting led by President Prabowo on Tuesday (7/1/2025), emphasized the plan to create legal and equitable schemes for utilizing such land for housing projects. 

"The land will remain state-owned, but the buildings can be owned by the people," he said, as quoted by antaranews.com.

These seized lands, along with unused land under Land Use Rights, or locally known as HGU, will be legalized through the Ministry of Finance and the Land Bank, enabling the construction of 3 million homes for low-income communities.

The government is also preparing financing schemes for the residents earning under Rp 8 million per month, with special provisions for informal sector workers like street vendors, to enable them to own homes.
