THE National Housing Authority (NHA) has turned over 85 housing units to families displaced by infrastructure projects in Bukidnon, it said over the weekend.
“The NHA turned over 85 housing units to qualified families affected by infrastructure projects including the ongoing construction of the Bukidnon Airport Development Project in Don Carlos, Bukidnon on January 24, 2025,” it said in a statement.
A total of 126 units were constructed for the housing site under the local government of Don Carlos, Bukidnon. The other 41 units were turned over in 2021.
Under the agency’s Emergency Housing Assistance Program (EHAP), the agency also distributed P20,000 to 12 families affected by floods and fires.
The EHAP is a program under NHA meant to provide financial assistance to calamity-affected families. In 2024, the state agency distributed a total of P361 million in financial aid.
Meanwhile, former rebels were recognized for constructing their homes using P450,000 in financial assistance under the NHA’s Resettlement Assistance for Former Rebels Program.
Earlier this year, the NHA distributed 3,517 housing units for families affected by Typhoon Yolanda.
