NHA houses over 80,000 informal settlers in 2013

THE government was able to provide housing for 80,908 informal settler families (ISFs) across the country last year, 44% more than the 56,221 families it served in 2012, Vice President and housing czar Jejomar Binay said.

The P26.985-billion National Housing Authority (NHA) programs resettled informal settler families living along danger areas in Metro Manila; those affected by infrastructure projects in Metro Manila and those living in danger areas in adjacent provinces; regional resettlement for local government units and indigenous peoples; and through the Community Mortgage Program (CMP) of       the Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC).
