The borrowing terms of the loan are unknown. The purpose of this Government of Indonesia’s One Million Housing Program, which was launched on April 30, 2015 in Central Java by President Joko Widodo, is to provide at least 1 million provide adequate housing facilities to low income citizens. Over half of these houses were to be built using funds from the country’s government budget. Government funding was also be used to finance the Housing Loan Liquidity Facility, government-backed mortgages for low-income people. As of 2020, 5.4 million housing units had been built under the Program, 70 percent of which were designated for housing for low-income individuals. In 2023, 1.21 million residential units were built. In total, 9.2 million housing units were built between 2015 and 2023 with progress still ongoing.
