DSWD to help rehabilitate 400 Dagupan houses
AT least 400 Dagupenos whose houses were destroyed by Typhoon Lando that hit the city in early October this year will soon receive financial assistance for the repair of their houses.
In her state of the children’s address at the West Central I Elementary School here on Dec. 7, Mayor Belen Fernandez said the financial assistance was assured to her by Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Regional Director Marcelo Nicomedes Castillo.
An ongoing validation, using the data provided by the City Disaster Risk and Management Office (CDRRMO), is on going.
Fernandez said the DSWD will give P10,000 each for those whose houses were partially destroyed and P30,000 each for those whose houses were totally destroyed as a result of Typhoon Lando.
Meanwhile, the city mayor announced that the 30 informal settlers who live in the dumpsite area in Bonuan Boquig will soon be resettled in their new homes in Sitio Korea, Bonuan Binloc which they can call their own.
A day care center was earlier built by the city in Sitio Korea.
The mayor promised that once the U.S. 8.4 million dollar Waste to Worth project of the city to be funded by the U.S. State Department and the Waste to Worth International will be built on a 1.9-hectare lot within the dumpsite and becomes fully operational, the resettled families will be given employment.
