Approach and Problem Solving Implementation of Housing Subsidy Policy for Low-Income People

Abstract

The government plays an important role in providing access to home ownership for low-income people. The implementation of the housing subsidy policy as a government policy in the housing sector has been developed and ongoing for more than ten years now. Until now, government monitoring officials, both internal and external, still find the same problems and they tend to recur from year to year, including inaccurate targeting of housing subsidy recipients and low occupancy rates for subsidized housing. This research is aimed at analyzing the problems of implementing housing subsidy policies faced by the government and the government's steps to overcome these recurring problems. In this research, several research methods were developed, including using a literature review approach, logic model approach, systems thinking approach and SWOT analysis. The results of the research are in the form of policy recommendations that the government can use as an alternative solution to overcome the same and recurring problems, including carrying out closer supervision by involving developers/local community administrators and implementing strict sanctions by revoking subsidy benefits that are not on target.
