The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) has called on members of the Chamber of Real Estate Builders’ Association Inc. (CREBA) to help boost the ‘Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino’ Program (4PH), the government’s flagship housing project.
DHSUD Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar made the call during CREBA’s annual national convention in Clark, Pampanga over the weekend, citing the event not only as forward-looking, but it also inspired resiliency and inclusivity in the housing sector.
He said the partner-developers have been facing challenges in executing the 4PH program but remained determined to produce more housing units to contribute to the government’s goal of addressing the housing gaps in the country.
“The government cannot do it alone. We need the support of all stakeholders. We need private partners including CREBA and other developers groups,” Acuzar said.
“Now more than ever, we need to work together, we need to unite, collaborate and continuously engage to ensure we complement each other’s efforts,” he added.
The housing czar said that both the DHSUD and CREBA must turn these challenges into opportunities toward a shared goal of providing safe, decent yet affordable shelters to Filipinos in sustainable communities.
He was all praises for the group for its unceasing efforts to collaborate with the administration in achieving its goal of addressing the housing needs of Filipinos.
The convention drew key players in the industry who led the sessions, each sharing their expertise to budding practitioners while exchanging insights with other seasoned professionals.
The DHSUD chief threw his full support to CREBA’s initiatives in mobilizing its members toward making a difference in the country’s housing and urban development sector.
