Indonesia seeks foreign support for 3 million-home programme
Housing minister Maruarar Sirait addressed 42 ambassadors and invited foreign representatives to a December inauguration of 71,000 subsidised homes.
Indonesia is seeking international investment to help accelerate its programme to build 3 million homes. Housing and Settlement Areas Minister Maruarar Sirait invited foreign participation in housing for low-income residents at a diplomatic forum in Jakarta on 12 November 2026.
The November edition of Kadin Monthly Economic Diplomatic brought together 42 ambassadors and representatives of international chambers of commerce operating in Indonesia. Maruarar outlined President Prabowo Subianto’s housing initiatives, including subsidised construction, home renovation and financing intended to improve families’ economic circumstances.
Maruarar said the renovation programme combines improvements to make homes fit to live in with access to KUR Perumahan and PNM financing, as well as land documentation through a programme providing 1 million free certificates. He said addressing housing needs required cooperation beyond construction, including ensuring access to finance and certainty over residents’ land rights.
He also invited ambassadors and other foreign representatives to an inauguration of 71,000 subsidised homes scheduled for 17 December 2026 in Malang, East Java. Separately, he urged private companies to support improvements in residential areas through corporate social responsibility programmes, citing work in Jakarta’s Menteng Tenggulun.
