Poverty in Indonesia raises various complex problems such as unemployment, crime, and other social problems. Surabaya is one of metropolitan city in Indonesia, yet still has a high poverty rates. Various attempts have been made by the Surabaya City Government to overcome the problem of poverty. Some of the policies implemented by the Surabaya City Government are Urban Farming Program and UMKM Tangible Economy Heroes Program. This study wants to answer empirically how effective the program is. Effectiveness according to Budiani (2007: 53) can be measured through the determination of program objectives, program socialization, program objectives, and program monitoring. This program takes place in Kelurahan Keputih and Rungkut Lor, Surabaya using a comparative descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The Urban Farming Program is a program to spur improvement in the living standards of the poor who are engaged in strengthening the urban agriculture sector. The Urban Farming Program is felt to be lacking in accuracy of the program targets due to incompatible products produced with demand, incompatible characteristics of the area with what is planted, and products produced can only be consumed alone. Intangible UMKM Economic Heroes Program is a program to empower housewives from poor families and MSME entrepreneurs. The Intangible Economy Hero Program of UMKM is deemed effective in minimizing poverty.

Kemiskinan merupakan salah satu fenomena sosial yang sampai saat ini masih banyak terjadi di berbagai negara, begitupun negara Indonesia. Apalagi ditengah terjadinya pandemi Covid-19 ini juga semakin banyaknya pertabahan jumlah masyarakat miskin. Berbagai macam upaya telah dilakukan oleh pemerintah untuk mengatasinya salah satunya yaitu dari adanya program Bantuan Soisal Tunai (BST). Tapi pada implementasinya dilapangan masih banyak ditemukan bantuan tersebut tidak tepat sasaran, menurunkan produktivitas masyarakat, tidak ada peraturan yang mengatur mengenai penggunaan dana subsidi, adanya pengurangan dana subsidi setiap periodenya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengevaluasi kebijakan program BST di Kecamatan Tambaksari agar kedepannya dapat lebih baik lagi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pengumpulan datanya melalui wawancara, observasi, studi dokumentasi, dan studi pustaka.  Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, program ini telah mampu membantu memenuhi kebutuhan pokok dan dapat meringankan beban hidup penerima rumah tangga sasaran meskipun dengan nominal yang masih dirasa jauh dari kata cukup. Namun bantuan ini belum merata ke masyarakat yang membutuhkan dan masih adanya penerima yang tidak tepat sasaran dikarenakan data yang digunakan masih menggunakan data lama dan lamban dalam pembaharuan data.
