Around 48,000 families are expected to benefit from the government’s housing programs following the signing of an agreement between four local government units in Mindanao and the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development. ManilaBulletin
DHSUD Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar said the four agreements cover more than 60 hectares of land in various barangays in Cagayan de Oro City; Gingoog City and Opol town of Misamis Oriental; and, Tubod town in Lanao del Norte.
He said the same agreements would pave the way of the construction of multiple medium to high-rise buildings. “The huge housing backlog is not just a figure we need to close. Each number represents a family needing a roof over their heads. As we pursue our mandate and push for the administration’s 4PH Program, we recognize the important role of local government units," said Acuzar.
"Your commitment is crucial for its success as you are involved in all its phases – from identifying the location, planning the design and determining target beneficiaries,” he added.
