Choiroel explained that 92.64 percent of the ministry’s budget had been allocated to spending supporting physical housing programs, while the remaining 7.36 percent was allocated to management support.

The program is implemented through three directorates general, with targets distributed according to housing needs in different regions.

The Directorate General of Rural Housing is responsible for 160,000 homes, while the Directorates General of Settlement Areas and Urban Housing each oversee 120,000 homes.
