The program is also in partnership with the City Government of Caloocan through the Housing and Resettlement Office (HARO) and the Caloocan City Social Welfare and Development Department (CSWDD).
Each family received P10,000 as financial assistance to provide emergency relief for their housing expenses.
Mayor Dale “Along” Malapitan expressed gratitude to NHA.
"Makaaasa po ang pamunuan ng NHA at ng iba pang ahensya ng pamahalaang nasyonal na mananatili nilang katuwang ang ating administrasyon sa pagsasaayos ng sistema ng pabahay sa ating lungsod. Maraming salamat po sa inyo (The leadership of the NHA and other national government agencies can count on our administration to continue to partner with them in improving the housing system in our city. Thank you very much)," Malapitan said.
"Hindi naman po lingid sa ating kaalaman na mayroon pa tayong mga kababayan na wala pang kasiguraduhan pagdating sa kanilang mga tahanan (It is no secret that some of our countrymen still lack security in their homes)," he added.
"Kaya naman mula noong nagsimula ang ating pamumuno, sinimulan natin ang pagpapatayo ng Deparo at Banker's Residences, kasabay pa ng pagtulong sa ating mga matagal nang residente ng Caloocan na magkaroon ng Certificate of Entitlement for Lot Allocation (CELA) (That is why, since the beginning of our administration, we have begun the construction of Deparo and Banker's Residences, while also helping our long-time residents of Caloocan in obtaining a Certificate of Entitlement for Lot Allocation)," the mayor continued.
