TACLOBAN CITY, Sept 4 (PNA) — The Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) has given the city government through Mayor Alfred Romualdez authority to apply as a regular Community Mortgage Program (CMP) mobilizer, a requirement by the Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC).
Councilor Jerry S. Uy , chairman of the committee on laws, explained that as a regular CMP mobilizer, the city government of Tacloban, through its city housing office or the urban poor office, maybe automatically accredited provided that majority of its officers and staff have undergone a training course in CMP provided by the SHFC or its accredited institution.
He further informed that under the program, the city government is not required of any cash equity for the socialized housing project.
“A CMP mobilizer acts helps informal settlers get organized, assist and prepare them for mortgage program, that is the main role of a CMP Mobilizer,” said Uy.
“They have the duty to educate the informal settlers, what are their obligations when given a housing unit,” added Uy.
The city government of Tacloban is now focused on providing permanent shelter to all Taclobanons displaced by typhoon Yolanda, especially the informal settlers and those who were previously residing in the no-build zone areas. (PNA)
