"The construction progress of the One Million Houses Program is expected to continue to increase until the end of the year," said Director General of Housing at the PUPR Ministry, Iwan Suprijanto, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, July 19.
According to Iwan, the Ministry of PUPR together with stakeholders in the housing sector such as local governments, development companies, banks, the private sector and the community will continue to encourage the construction of decent houses for the entire community.

“The One Million Houses Program is a concrete manifestation of the government's commitment to providing decent housing for the community. We at the Directorate General of Housing, Ministry of PUPR have various housing development programs such as the construction of flats, special houses, self-help houses and subsidized housing infrastructure, facilities and utilities (PSU) assistance," he said.
Based on data from the Directorate General of Housing, Ministry of PUPR, the achievement of PSR as of June 30, 2022 has increased by 187,286 units from May 2022.
