This policy is contained in a joint decision (SKB) between the Minister of Home Affairs, the Minister of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) and the Minister of Public Works (PU). This policy was subsequently followed by the regional government by issuing a Regional Chief Regulation (Perkada).

The regional government must socialize the program so that many people use it. Tito also appreciated the regional government for issuing many PBGs for MBR.

In addition, Tito appreciated the joint efforts of different parties in supporting the three million homes program. He emphasized that it is impossible for the central government to build all people’s homes just by relying on the state budget. Therefore, synergy is needed between the central, regional, business world and banking, so that the construction of people’s homes can continue. “That’s why some are built by the government, others are being built.” Through the private sector, some are built by themselves, separately, and policy is also made to make the price cheaper, ‘he explained.
