Members of the House Committee on Housing and Urban Development are confident the House of Representatives will adopt its resolution declaring a housing crisis in the country.
Reps. Jose Francisco “Kiko” Benitez (NPC, Negros Occidental) and Florida Robes (NUP, San Jose del Monte City), committee chairman and vice chairperson, respectively, moved strongly for the panel approval of House Resolution 1677.
Endorsement of adoption of the measure was calendared a few days after the conduct of a housing summit that Robes hosted at the SJDM Convention Center on March 10.
Robes said that a declaration of a house crisis will prod the executive department to mobilize resources to accelerate housing production and provide adequate housing to underserved families.
