Banjarmasin, S Kalimantan (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Community Care for Residential Housing (MP3I) of South Kalimantan will renovate as many as 500 uninhabitable houses, said the provincial DPRD member H Suripno Sumas, SH, MH.
Suripno Sumas, who is also the chairman of MP3I South Kalimantan, said that the agency had distributed the allocation of the plan for the renovation to five districts and cities in order to immediately submit a list of recipients.
"In the first phase in 2022 Banjarmasin City, Banjar District, Tapin, Central Hulu Sungai (HST), and North Hulu Sungai (HSU) will have 100 units (to be renovated) each," he said on the sideline of disseminating Banjarmasin Bylaw No. 14 of 2011 concerning poverty reduction here on Sunday.
"The requirements of the recipient are those who are poor, and letter of ownership of the house from the head of the local urban village or village," he continued.
The two-term legislator from the constituency of Banjarmasin added that the renovation will not interfere or overlap with other similar programs.
"Such as the house renovation program by the Ministry of Social Affairs is still running," said the retired civil servant who is now the Secretary of Commission I for Legal and Government of the South Kalimantan DPRD.
"The renovation of uninhabitable houses by MP3I comes from the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR)," he said.
"However, the funding does not come from the state budget, but from Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds which are distributed through the PUPR Ministry," Suripno Sumas expounded.
