The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) eyes rental housing as another modality under President Marcos’ flagship Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH) program.
Housing Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling on Sunday said the agency is open to all feasible modalities to make 4PH more inclusive and sustainable.
“We must exhaust all feasible modalities under 4PH. The more schemes available for our kababayans (countrymen), depending on the need and their capacity, the better,” Aliling said.
“Currently, we are studying rental housing among the modalities under 4PH,” he added.
The DHSUD agency is looking at families within the lower-income brackets as among the target beneficiaries.
Aliling earlier disclosed the recalibration of 4PH to include horizontal developments or subdivision-like housing projects.
Raemulan Lands Inc., a top developer of socialized housing projects in the country, committed 35,656 housing units in the next two years.
The DHSUD central office is now crafting guidelines for the inclusion of horizontal developments to 4PH.
