DHSUD, urban poor meet to discuss inclusive housing under Marcos Jr.'s 4PH Program

The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) held a dialogue with representatives from Partido Lakas ng Masa-Urban Poor Communities on Monday.

During the meeting, DHSUD Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar emphasized President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH) Program, which focuses on inclusive and in-city housing.

Acuzar highlighted that providing decent, safe, and affordable shelters for Filipinos, especially the urban poor, is a top priority under Marcos Jr.'s administration.

The community representatives suggested ways to enhance government initiatives for informal settler families in highly urbanized areas during the dialogue.

Both parties agreed on the need for stronger collaboration between the government and grassroots communities to align with government housing programs.

Acuzar stressed that true development is measured not only by the number of buildings constructed but also by the opportunities provided to families to improve their lives.
