THE QUEZON City government will provide low-cost houses to informal settlers in Barangay Payatas to move the families away from dangerous areas like sidewalks, roadways and flood-prone waterways.
A memorandum of agreement was signed Thursday by the city government with the Pag-ibig Fund and Habitat for Humanity for the low-cost housing project.
Mayor Herbert Bautista led the signing, along with Pag-Ibig Fund chairperson Darlene Marie Berberabe and Habitat for Humanity managing director Ricardo Jacinto.
The project will be built on a 1.58-hectare site in Barangay Payatas not only for informal settlers but for homeless public school teachers as well.
This will form part of the city government’s Housing Board shelter plan for Quezon City, Bautista said in a press conference.
The members of the Housing Board are: Bautista, Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte, the Urban Poor Affairs Office and urban poor groups Alyansa ng Maralita sa Nova and Urban Poor Council Leaders of Quezon City.
