The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) will tie up not only with local government units (LGUs) but with private contractors and developers as well in building six million affordable shelters, a senior lawmaker said on Thursday.
THE Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development will tie up not only with local government units but with private contractors and developers as well in building six million affordable shelters, a senior lawmaker said on Thursday.
“The national government certainly cannot hope to close the housing backlog under the Marcos presidency without the full support not only of LGUs but of private developers and contractors as well,” the lawmaker said.
For the President, one indicator of the increasing number of shelter availment is the rise in the number of new Home Development Mutual Fund members and increased interest from the people in buying new homes. He noted that Acuzar has been meeting with the various groups of real estate developers in order to promote the joint venture agreement and public-private partnership under the 4PH.
As the implementing agency of the 4PH, the DHSUD has been pushing partnerships with LGUs that have secured loans from government financial institutions , with LGUs that have forged JVAs or PPPs with private developers and with private builders via turnkey projects.
