DHSUD MARKS 7 YEARS WITH LIFE-CHANGING HOUSING INITIATIVES

The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) celebrates its seventh anniversary, highlighting the Expanded Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino (4PH) Program under President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., which provides accessible, safe, and decent housing to Filipino families across income sectors. DHSUD Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling emphasized the department’s people-centered approach, transparency, and integrity while delivering diverse housing modalities including horizontal and vertical developments, rental housing, and the Enhanced Community Mortgage Program (ECMP). Recent achievements include awarding Certificates of Entitlement, turnover of house and lot packages, and launching rental projects in Quezon City, Iloilo City, and Victorias City, with Pag-IBIG offering subsidized loans at 3 percent for affordable homeownership. Beneficiaries report life-changing impacts from land tenure and housing security, reflecting DHSUD’s commitment to inclusive growth and resilient communities. Over seven years, DHSUD has strengthened policies, expanded private sector partnerships, and fostered community engagement, reaffirming its mission to uplift Filipino lives while ensuring no family is left behind.
