Local Shelter Planning

What is a Local Shelter Plan?

A Local Shelter Plan is a roadmap to address the
shelter needs of both the formal and informal
sectors. It is a plan of action which:
defines the objectives for the development of shelter conditions;
provides information on the analysis of the present local housing

situation including the identification of housing problems and

future housing needs;
determines the affordability of targeted beneficiaries and
identifies the resources available to meet the objectives and the
means by which they can be used most cost-effectively; and
sets out the responsibilities and time frame for implementing
the various measures.

Rationale for drafting a Local Shelter

Plan (LSP)
Devolution of housing and urban development related

functions to the LGUs pursuant to R.A. 7160 or the

Local Government Code of 1991 and R.A. 7279 or the
Urban Development and Housing Act (UDHA)
Decentralization of housing delivery system in line

with the thrust

of the present administration as
stated under the Philippine Development Plan (PDP)
2011-2016.
Mitigation of adverse impacts of climate change and

other hazards through the development and designing

of disaster Resilient Communities in line with RA 9729
(Climate Change Act) and RA 10121 (Disaster Risk
Reduction Management Act).

Who are responsible in formulating the

LSP?
At the LGU:
Head of the Housing Office (if there is any)
Planning Officer and Statistician from the MPDO or CPDO
Municipal or City Engineers Office w/ knowledge on cost estimates
of infrastructure projects and BP. 220 standards.
Municipal or City Social Welfare &Devt. Officer knowledgeable on
Informal Settler Families in the locality.
Municipal /City Assessor
City or Municipal ENRO and DRRRMO
Local Housing Board (or the Sanggunian Chair of the Committee on
Housing); or
Sangguniang Bayan or Sangguniang Panlungsod Committee
Chairperson
OTHERS: may include, but not limited to the POs, NGOs, service
providers

LAND

In making an inventory of lands available and suitable for housing, the following
aspects are relevant:

Topography and other environmental considerations (less earth-moving and

less earth filling to minimize the cost of land development, buildable as certified by
DENR-MGB)
Provision of basic services (relatively near main power and water lines, has
drainage outfall, etc.)
Employment opportunities
Transportation opportunities and cost (Preferably, relatively near employment
or livelihood, schools, places of worship, public market, health facilities, must be
walkable or one ride only)
Land classification prime agricultural, particularly irrigated and irrigable rice
lands, should NOT be included.
Vacant Count only the vacant portion because these lands will be used for new
housing sites (relocation and new subdivisions).
