ABSTRACT

Housing benefit in the national Basic Livelihood Security Programme (BLSP) isscheduled to be transferred to Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in2014. However, rent voucher, the original main feature planned to be embedded inthe new subsidy system has been dropped lately. This confusion reflects the problemthat the need to transform housing benefit to a voucher or the goal of housingsubsidy has not been fully specified in the previous discussion. Housing subsidyshould be focused on the aspect of rent subsidy protecting poor people from therent volatility. Also, various housing support programs need to be coordinated, andcommunity programs promoting family self-sufficiency need to be actively employedin combination with housing subsidies.
