The Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) is ready to build 151 permanent housing units (Huntap) for communities affected by the earthquake in Cianjur Regency, West Java.

We are targeting 151 Huntap units with RISHA earthquake-resistant housing technology to be built on 1.9 hectares of land that has been prepared by the local government," said the Director General of Housing. PUPR Ministry Iwan Suprijanto in a written statement in Jakarta, quoted on Tuesday, January 17.
Iwan explained that the construction of the Huntap will continue to be accelerated so that it can be used for the relocation of people whose houses are damaged and located on the Cugenang active fault line.
"The location of the Huntap construction is very strategic because it is located in the Mande District Office and on the side of the provincial road. We will also equip this Huntap with adequate infrastructure, facilities, and utilities, so that people can enjoy occupying new housing," he explained.
