NTB - The Mataram City Housing and Settlement Area Office has begun to restore 85 units of uninhabitable housing (RTLH) in five urban villages with a total aid of Rp. 35,750,000 per unit.

Head of the Housing Division of the Mataram City Housing and Settlement Area (Disperkim), Lalu Agus Supriadi, said that the five kelurahan where the RTLH restoration will be located include Monjok, Sayang- Sayang, Bintaro, Babakan and Karang Pule Villages.

"For the Monjok and Sayang- Sayang Villages, the workers have started to make the foundation iron, while the Bintaro and others have just finished demolishing the houses to be renovated," he said in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province, quoted from Antara, Friday, August 5. .

According to him, the planned restoration of 85 RTLH is a new build program (PB), meaning that the target house is demolished and then built a new one and the owner only needs to receive the key to the new house.

With a budget of Rp. 35,750,000 per unit, the house will be built like type 24 or 36 housing with two bedrooms and one toilet.

"If the beneficiary wants to be self-sufficient again, the building can be added. But the possibility is very small because the average recipient is pre-prosperous," he said.

He said the Rp35,750,000 budget was a 'sharing' fund from the central government and the city government, with details of Rp20,750,000 from the center and Rp15 million from the Mataram City Government.

"The disbursement is carried out in stages, namely the first phase for initial activities, the second phase is disbursed after the work has reached 30 percent and the last is after 75 percent of the work," he said.

The restoration activity of 85 RTLH units in Mataram City is targeted for completion in November 2022 in accordance with the stipulated provisions

"If it can be completed faster, of course it will be better without reducing the quality and quantity of the work that has been planned," he said.

In order to optimize supervision, he added, the construction of the residents' houses was carried out with a working group system and involved three facilitators who had been appointed from the central government.

"Therefore, the budget of Rp. 35,750,000 per unit is more than Rp. 30 million for building materials and Rp. 5 million for construction costs, so that the recipient of the stone only needs to receive the key to the new house," he said.
