Info drive on housing projects urged
HOUSES FOR HOMELESS
LINGAYEN–Two housing projects being developed by the provincial government and the National Housing Authority (NHA) meant for all interested Pangasinenses have so far attracted only homeless residents in Lingayen.
The Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) found out that some 400 homeless residents applied so far to avail of the socialized housing projects being developed by the provincial government and the NHA in Barangays Maniboc and Aplaya West, Lingayen.
Angelito Pedeglorio, officer-in-charge at the Pangasinan Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Office (PHUDCO), noted, however, that all the applicants are from Lingayen and none from other parts of Pangasinan.
“We have a problem,” said Second District Board Member Raul Sison, saying the provincial housing project assisted by NHA must be disseminated provincewide to attract other homeless citizens of Pangasinan other than those in Lingayen.
The housing units at the Villa Maniboc Socialized Housing Project Phase II (129 units) and the Aplaya West Resettlement Project (317 units) will soon made available be to qualified beneficiaries.
The Maniboc Housing Project II, comprising of 1.8 hectares and funded by the Sites and Services Program of NHA is part of a 5.5 -hectare property segregated from the coverage of Presidential Proclamation No. 499 issued by then President Fidel V. Ramos which reserved the area for housing of homeless residents.
Of this segregated property, at least 3.7 consisting of 257 home lots were already awarded to qualified government employees under Phase I of the housing project.
Each housing unit in this housing projects costs P250,000 to be amortized monthly by the beneficiaries.
The Aplaya West Resettlement Project has a land area of 2.4 hectares that were also earlier segregated from the coverage of Presidential Proclamation No. 499 through a resolution of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.
Each housing unit costs P400,000 to be amortized by the beneficiaries monthly. (Leonardo Micua)
