This study aims to analyze the poverty conditions of beneficiary families before and after receiving the Family Hope Program (PKH), identify the forms of assistance provided through PKH, and examine the driving and inhibiting factors for the implementation of PKH in Batu Bara Regency. The type of research used is a mixed method (qualitative and quantitative) with primary data obtained through direct research in the field and interviews with PKH beneficiaries. Data analysis was carried out using a different test (Paired T- test) with the help of the SPSS program. The sampling technique uses proportional random sampling with a population of 100 people from 4 sub-districts in Batu Bara Regency. The results of the study showed that the poverty condition of PKH beneficiary families had a significant influence on poverty alleviation efforts, with a significance value of 0.001 (< 0.005). The form of assistance in PKH in Batu Bara Regency is in the form of direct cash assistance. The driving factor for the success of PKH in Batu Bara Regency is the government's commitment to provide direct assistance to underprivileged families. However, the inhibiting factors include the lack of community participation in the program and the low level of community literacy.
