Indonesia is revising the definition of low-income households (Masyarakat Berpenghasilan Rendah - MBR) to broaden access to subsidized housing programs. The change is expected to significantly increase the number of citizens eligible for government housing assistance.

Sumarno, the Regional Secretary of Central Java Province, expressed his support for the revision. He anticipates that the updated definition will enable more individuals and families to benefit from the national program, which targets the construction of 3 million housing units. This initiative is crucial for addressing the housing deficit in the country.

The Ministry of Home Affairs has spearheaded this redefinition, aiming to align the criteria with current economic realities and ensure that the housing program effectively reaches its intended beneficiaries. The move is seen as a positive step towards improving housing affordability and availability for lower-income segments of the population.
