It consists of rental public flats which are owned by the Surabaya city government and rental public flats which are managed by the Surabaya city government. The existence of those rental public flats is expected to help Surabaya city government in poverty alleviation. With a very affordable rates, it is hoped that it can help low-income community to graduate from their status as lowincome community soon. However, the management of rental public flats also requires a large amount of money, so it needs to be considered, whether the existing rate for flats needs to be reviewed. It is also necessary to study whether the existence of those rental public flats has been effective in alleviating poverty in the city of Surabaya.
