Abstract

The provision of adequate housing is a fundamental aspect of ensuring social welfare and upholding citizens' rights. This study investigates the role of local governments in providing housing for communities, focusing on policy implementation, funding mechanisms, and collaborative strategies. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through document analysis, interviews with local government officials, and observations in selected urban and peri-urban areas. The findings reveal that while local governments have taken significant steps to address housing shortages—such as through subsidized housing programs and land use planning—challenges persist in terms of budget limitations, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and limited community participation. Moreover, coordination between central and local authorities often lacks consistency, leading to delays in housing development projects. This study emphasizes the importance of community-based approaches, improved intergovernmental coordination, and sustainable funding models to enhance the effectiveness of local housing policies. The research provides policy recommendations to strengthen the role of local governments in ensuring equitable and sustainable housing provision for all, especially marginalized and low-income groups.
