The Mandaluyong City local government and the National Housing Authority (NHA) distributed housing aid and food packs to residents who were affected by the fire that hit Barangay Addition Hills.
Mandaluyong City Mayor Menchie Abalos together with officials from the NHA led the distribution of materials under the Emergency Housing Assistance Program (EHAP) at the Jose Fabella Memorial School for the victims of the fire living in blocks 29/40 and blocks 37/38.
NHA's EHAP responds to the housing needs of low and marginal-income and/or informal settlers affected by calamities such as typhoons, landslides, earthquakes and fires for relocation to safe areas.
The program also involves the provision of housing materials assistance (HOMA) to families whose homes are partially damaged by calamities in the “safe-zone” but do not require relocation and resettlement.
Abalos also visited the site of the fire that hit Barangay Barangka Drive to give food packs and relocation assistance to the adversely affected families.
