HUMAN Settlements and Urban Development Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar and Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC) president Federico Laxa on Saturday led the inspection of an ongoing housing project in Pampanga under President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Housing (4PH) Program.

Acuzar and Laxa , along with other DHSUD and SHFC officials, checked on the progress of the Crystal Peak Homes in Barangay Del Carmen in the City of San Fernando.

The project is situated on an 8-hectare land where around 30 condominium-type 12-story buildings will be constructed. It is projected to generate more than 8,300 units measuring 25-28sqm each.

Acuzar and other key officials of the Department have been busy making rounds in various regions to ensure the continuous implementation of the 4PH program nationwide.

“These site inspections help us monitor the actual situations on the ground, helping us not only to ensure the smooth and continuous implementation of the program but more importantly, assess the needs and propose improvements,” said Acuzar, thanking all stakeholders who are exhausting efforts for the program’s realization.

“We are deeply grateful for our partner LGUs, our KSAs, other agencies and the private sector for making this happen. As what we have said, we cannot do this alone…we appreciate your efforts.

We have a lot more to accomplish and we continuously call on everyone’s support,” he said.

Mandated by RA 11201 as the primary government agency responsible for the management of housing, human settlements and urban development, DHSUD leads the implementation of the “Pambansang Pabahay” which aims to address the housing backlog in the country pegged at more than 6.5 million units.

The DHSUD has already signed more than 140 memoranda of understanding and broken ground in 26 areas across the country for the flagship housing program.
