THE Subdivision and Housing Developers Association (SHDA), in collaboration with the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD), will finalize a joint resolution for the creation of a new housing roadmap.
SHDA national chairman Leonardo Dayao Jr. said the group and DHSUD is crafting the Unified Housing Roadmap for 2025-2040 to provide a clear framework for addressing the country’s housing backlog.
SHDA said the roadmap seeks to align government and private sector efforts to meet the increasing housing demand in the Philippines.
“This roadmap will guide both government and private stakeholders with strategies, policies, and targets to help meet housing needs for the next 15 years,” Dayao said.
The Unified Housing Roadmap aligns with the Marcos administration’s flagship Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Program.
The first draft of the roadmap has been completed. Consultations with industry stakeholders are being done to ensure that their inputs are incorporated.
The roadmap is one of the topics to be tackled at the 32nd National Developers Convention 2024 in Davao City on October 10 and 11.
At the convention, DHSUD will present program implementation details of the roadmap, aiming to encourage private sector participation.
The convention, themed “Puy-anan para sa tanan: Collaborating towards a Unified Housing Roadmap,” will gather representatives from the public and private sectors, including government officials, developers, suppliers, technology proponents, financing institutions, and beneficiaries.
Topics also include the Philippine Development Plan, streamlining permitting processes, the development potential of emerging local government units in Mindanao; financing and incentive mechanisms; best practices for sustainable and resilient housing and; success stories from Mindanao-based developers.
