Meanwhile, a total of 236 families previously living in danger zones in Lucena City, Quezon Province officially moved into their own safe and decent homes recently, a very timely development amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Each member will occupy a 33.3-square meter unit with room for a loft and will make an average monthly amortization of P3,118.90.
The fruition of the P105.6-million project came almost a year after Social Housing Finance Corp. (SHFC) President Arnolfo Ricardo Cabling and Alcala led the groundbreaking in a 1.4-hectare property in Barangay Mayao Crossing that was purchased by the agency in 2016.
SHFC is the lead agency assisting underprivileged communities in securing land tenure through shelter financing and development solutions by Building Adequate, Livable, Affordable, and Inclusive Filipino communities.
