From year 2010 up to 2013, a total of
15,988 families from several danger
areas in the City were relocated to NHA
Resettlement Sites in Bulacan and
Rodriguez, Rizal.
However, the number of relocation
allocation provided by the National
Housing Authority (NHA) is not enough
to accommodate the City’s demand as
ISFs clamour for affordable in-city
housing/ resettlement.
Forging Public Private
Partnerships for the housing
needs of the city’s poor:
The Quezon City Government has
undertaken 8 housing projects
designed to provide dwelling
units for 2,367 families. All the
housing sites are in Quezon City,
providing no dislocation to those
resettled. All beneficiaries are
required to pay back the housing
units thru financing in three
modes:
•
•
•
Pag-ibig Fund
SHFC loans (for those who
qualify, and can afford the
amortization
In-house financing thru the
LGU, which is able to lend at
half the interest rates of the
Pag-ibig Fund.
