public housing

Explanation:
Public housing is a form of housing tenure in which the property is owned by a government authority, which may be central or local. Social housing is an umbrella term referring to rental housing which may be owned and managed by the state, by not-for-profit organizations, or by a combination of the two, usually with the aim of providing affordable housing.

Although the common goal of public housing is to provide affordable housing, the details, terminology, definitions of poverty and other criteria for allocation vary.

Jika merujuk ke bangunan (bukan instansinya) yang dibangun pemerintah untuk menyediakan rumah dengan harga terjangkau bagi masyarakat kurang mampu, sepertinya istilah ini lebih tepat.

41 mins confidence:

national urban development (corporation)

Explanation:
Dikatakan "urban development" karena perumahan yang dibangun:
(a) bersifat terpadu: disediakan fasos (balai kemasyarakatan, dsj.) dan fasum (lapangan olahraga, puskesmas, dsj.)
(b) hanya di daerah (utamanya pinggiran) perkotaan (yakni, tidak membangun perumahan di pedesaan).

Example sentence(s):

Perum Perumnas (National Urban Development Corporation) is the only housing developer owned by the government of Indonesian Republic as BUMN (Badan Usaha Milik Negara/State-owned Corporation), which was established on June 18th, 1974
