JAKARTA - The People's Housing Savings Management Agency (BP Tapera) said that the expansion of participation for workers with non-permanent income, such as online motorcycle taxis, will be launched in July.

"We plan to launch next month," said BP Tapera Commissioner Adi Setianto in a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) in the Sudirman area, Jakarta, on Wednesday, June 21.

Adi said this was an effort by the government to facilitate low-income people (MBR) to own their homes.

He added that the Director General (Dirjen) of Infrastructure and Housing Financing of the Ministry of PUPR also targeted BP Tapera to realize the Housing Financing Liquidity Facility (FLPP) of 220,000 units by 2023.

Meanwhile, around 50,000 units of which are portion for the community with non-permanent income. In addition, there is also an MBR with a non-permanent job status, such as a Specific Time Work Agreement (PKWT) and honorary.

"We entered there. So, we have prepared savings for Tapera's house, later working with the State Savings Bank (BTN)," he added.

Just so you know, there are three independent worker associations targeted. The first from the digital platform includes Gojek, Grab, Shopee, and Tokopedia partners.

Second, from bank agents include BRI Link Agents, Agent 46, Mandiri Agent, and Batara Agent. The third is from the community organization community (ormas), which includes IKAPPI, KNTI, NU and Muhammadiyah.

Through this step, it is hoped that independent workers will become bankable, so that they can apply for Home Ownership Loans (KPR) to the bank.
