At this time, the provision of adequate shelter and affordable housing in urban areas is a demand for the community. This is caused by the increasing urbanization or migrant workers from village to the city. Demographic Institute, University of Indonesia projected urban population of Indonesia showing the figure of 132.5 million in 2020. Meanwhile the year 2004 based on BPS data, which is then processed by the Ministry of Housing, it is known that in 2004 the number of households that do not yet have a house in the year 2004 is 5.825 million households (RT) or 10.81%. If this is allowed then each year the number of people who have no houses will be growing. This will cause new problems, namely reduced, safeness, and social unrest. This study tries to identify and analyze the relationship between the provision of houses/shelters for migrant workers with social stability in the region. It should be noted between the expectations or wishes of the migrants to decent and affordable houses with the community's ability and the ability of the State in providing housing. If there is gab, the gulf between the expectation of community to live in decent and affordable homes, while the state or the capability to provide housing are still not fulfilled, or the community do not have the ability to buy, then this will cause disappointment and frustration. This is a long term will lead to riots or social unrest. This research was conducted by analyzing the variable inter-influence variables through factor analysis and path analysis. Findings from this research may provide input on the importance of building houses for low-income communities.
