Maruarar said the number of home surgery aids in Bogor Regency increased significantly from 1,346 units last year to at least 6,396 units this year.
According to him, the increase in the allocation shows the government's commitment to accelerating the reduction of uninhabitable houses, while encouraging the equitable access of the public to decent and safe housing.
Maruarar said the government was still open to increasing the allocation of assistance if the results of the evaluation showed that the region was ready to implement the program in a targeted, fast, and quality manner.
He added that the certainty regarding the additional allocation of assistance would be decided no later than next week after all the results of the evaluation of the readiness of Bogor Regency were completed by the government.

Bogor Regent Rudy Susmanto appreciated the support of the central government which increased the house surgery assistance for the community in his area through the Swadaya Housing Stimulus Assistance Program (PBSPS) this year.
Rudy said the increase in allocation to at least 6,396 units was a new history for Bogor Regency, as well as an incentive to accelerate services to people in need of decent housing.
"At least 6,396 houses. And the Minister also has plans to increase the allocation, of course, will see later what the evaluation will be. But this is an encouragement for us to continue to serve the community better," said Rudy.

"This is a new history for Bogor Regency, we received assistance for the construction of RTLH through PBSPS with a minimum of 6,396 units," said Rudy.
