Housing Distribution and Project Details

2,000 Type 45 Homes: These homes are designated for the general public and will be distributed based on the population size of each district. This ensures equitable access to improved housing across the province.
200 Units for Tribal Chiefs: Recognizing the vital role of traditional leadership in Highland Papua, 200 units are specifically allocated for tribal chiefs within the eight targeted districts. This demonstrates respect for indigenous culture and empowers community leaders.
