Jakarta (Antara Bali) - State-owned housing company Perumnas said it was ready to help Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in the construction of flat houses for residents affected by floods in the Ciliwung river banks.
"We are ready to cooperate with the governor if land for flat house location has been made available," Perumnas President Director Himawan Arif Sugoto said here on Monday.
However, Himawan did not reveal the details and numbers of the flat houses, including their locations that his company was ready to develop.
He said that with the availability of land and cooperation with both sides, the regional government of Jakarta would be able to normalize the Ciliwung river areas while the residents would be helped in obtaining proper houses.
Jokowi has said earlier he would develop flat houses in Pasar Rumput areas (South Jakarta) to provide homes for 6,000 families in an effort to implement his Ciliwung river normalization program.
He said that the flat house development program was different from the village revitalization program launched by the Jakarta government previously.(*/DWA)
