The availability of land that is an unrenewable resource is an important component of house fulfillment for low income communities. Unified Database recorded in 2018 there were still 6083 backlogs based on the status of residential ownership in Semarang Regency. There is no denying that the high number of backlog was influenced by the increasing population, one of which is caused by urbanization. On the other hand, relatively cheap residential area is limited, which caused the house prices to be higher and made it more difficult for low-income household to fulfill the need for shelter. The 1945 State Constitution said that the State has an obligation to fulfill the right to get shelter and health. The purpose of this research is to know if there is an adequate land for the fulfillment of subsidized housing in Semarang district based on the availability of existing land and its capacity observedfrom the backlog in each sub-district. The method used in this research is quantitative method with overlay analysis on GIS of land availability that are affordable and suitable for spatial layout. The second method is a scoring analysis and a weighting analysis which were used to determine the priority of alternative locations for subsidized housing. The result of this research showed that the availability of land that are in accordance with the spatial layout and relatively inexpensive in Semarang district is still quite widespread, which is about 338.08 Ha. The capacity can then be calculated from the analysis results. The land suitable for subsidized housing which has an area of 338.08 Ha can accommodate a population of 135,232 people. Land capability can be known from the comparison of the backlog number with the capacity of the residential space that is 24,564 < 135,232, which means has been fulfilled. Meanwhile if we analyze from the sub district level, there is scarcity of land for the fulfillment of subsidized housing in several districts, among others are District Tengaran, Susukan, Kaliwungu, Tuntang, Banyubiru, Ambarawa, and Ungaran Barat. Those districts have no potential land for the fulfillment of subsidized housing while the backlog numbers are quite high.
