BAGUIO CITY – More than 2,000 families here
would soon have houses they could call their own once a local government
housing project in a newly acquired property is completed.
Mayor Benjamin Magalong revealed that the city government of Baguio signed a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Housing, Settlement, and Urban Development (DHSUD) for the project.
“We signed the memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the DHSUD in the first week of January for the township development project of the lot in Tuba, Benguet,” stressed Mayor Magalong.
He said the area is a 6.3-hectare property where structures with a total of 2,000 units will be constructed.
“This will be the second socialized permaculture housing project with the Luna Terraces project in Irisan barangay that is ongoing completion,” said Magalong.
He said the city’s target is multi-level housing buildings that will accommodate 8,000-10,000 families in various sites.

Magalong said the Luna Terraces
project which was designed for ten buildings with a total of 260 units was also
supported by the DHSUD and the National Housing Authority (NHA).
The DHSUD granted P155 million
for the site development and the NHA provided P50 million for the construction
of two buildings with 62 units and another P326.17 million for the completion
of the eight remaining buildings.
The city government has announced
that it is continuously accepting offers from lot owners for its housing
projects.
The project is in keeping with
the ‘Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Program’ which is the flagship program
of the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
The city’s concept of housing
projects is permanent agriculture (permaculture) to achieve its goal of
establishing a sustainable and livable community in line with the city’s thrust
to address urban decay.
It also incorporates breathing
and green spaces as part of the site.
The same concept will be adopted
for the new project which is expected to break ground before the end of this
month.
