In an attempt to assist the general public to realize the construction of adequate housing, the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (“Minister”) recently issued Regulation No. 7 of 2022 on the Implementation of Housing Construction Assistance and the Provision of Special Houses (“Regulation 7/2022”),[1] which has now repealed and replaced the previous frameworks that addressed construction assistance for housing facilities, infrastructure and public utilities (Prasarana, Sarana dan Utilitas Umum untuk Perumahan – “PSU”), multistory housing (Rumah Susun – “Rusun”) and self-built houses (rumah swadaya) (collectively referred to as “Housing”), as well as assistance for special housing.[2]
