NATIONAL HOUSING AUTHORITY

VISION

By 2019, NHA would have provided 50% of the housing needs for
homeless low-income families (based on the 2011 census) primarily those living in
waterways, danger areas, and government infrastructure project sites in Metro
Manila and all regions nationwide.

MISSION

We provide decent, adequate, and affordable housing to low-income


families, ensure the provision of community facilities, utilities, and access to social
services and economic opportunities.

NHA MANDATE
The National Housing Authority (NHA) is the sole national agency
mandated to engage in housing production for low income families. It traces its
roots to the People's Homesite Corporation (PHC), the first government housing
agency established on 14 October 1938 and to the National Housing
Commission (NHC) which was created seven years later, on 17 September 1945.
These two agencies, the PHC and the NHC, were eventually merged on 4
October 1947 into the People's Homesite and Housing Corporation (PHHC).

In the years that followed, six(6) more housing agencies were created to
respond to separate and distinct shelter requirements, namely: the Presidential
Assistant on Housing and Resettlement Agency (PAHRA); the Tondo Foreshore
Development Authority (TFDA); the Central Institute for the Training and
Relocation of Urban Squatters (CITRUS); the Presidential Committee for Housing
and Urban Resettlement (PRECHUR); the Sapang Palay Development
Committee (SPDC); the Inter-Agency task Force to Undertake the Relocation of
Families in Barrio Nabacaan, Villanueva, Misamis Oriental. Eventually, on 15
October 1975, the National Housing Authority was organized as a government-
owned and-controlled corporation, by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 757
dated 31 July 1975. All other housing agencies were abolished by the said
decree. The NHA took over and integrated the functions of the abolished
agencies - the PHHC and the six (6) other housing agencies. The creation of the
NHA is the second attempt of the government to integrate all housing efforts
under a single agency, twenty-eight years after the merger under the PHHC.

BACKGROUND OF THE MANUAL
Three years later, the Ministry of Human Settlements (MHS) was created in
1978. The Ministry adopted the holistic approach to housing. The NHA was
placed as an attached agency to the MHS.
In 1998, NHA housing design prototypes were compiled as a Manual. This

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Improvement of the design of the NHA standard housing models was


guided by one overarching design philosophy, that is, Sustainable Development
(SD). As such, the design goals, objectives, and indicators were derived from this
philosophy.

SD is the national agenda for development, which was adapted in


support of the same international agenda . As the UN states,

Thus, given that housing makes for a large part of national


development, SD was identified to dictate the course of this housing design
improvement effort.

Throughout the design process, SD was observed with the understanding


that it is “development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (3)”
26 27
DESIGN GOALS
In setting design goals, SD was considered in its three aspects — the
social, the environmental, and the economic (2). As much as possible,
“integrated” design goals were set, that is, the accomplishment of a goal should
in most cases support the accomplishment of another goal.

Social Sustainability
A housing development is socially sustainable when it empowers, includes, and
continuously provides for the needs of people, affording them a healthy and
fulfilling life.

1 Historically,
a barrier-free unit (i.e., a house that fully complies with all the requirements under BP 344) costs more
than a non-barrier-free unit. Thus, designing for “accessibility” as described herein, was limited to items that would
pose insignificant increases in costs. Focus was given to adequate space allowances so that, in case the need
arises, the house could be easily converted into a barrier-free facility.

28 29
Economic Sustainability
A housing development is economically sustainable when it is cost-
efficient and self-sustaining.

Environmental Sustainability
A housing development is environmentally sustainable when it uses
natural resources to sustain human life without destroying or depleting these
resources permanently.

30 31
DESIGN PROCESS

32 33
DESIGN OBJECTIVES AND INDICATORS The indicators describe provisions that increase probable success in
Guided by the different ways in which the purpose of a house may be achieving the design objectives. These indicators were not intended to serve as
considered, design objectives were derived. The design objectives and an exhaustive compilation of ALL design requirements for dwellings. All
Indicators were defined with the following assumptions: applicable code requirements, covered by the indicators herein or otherwise,
were still observed.

In the process of designing this framework, some design objectives were


found to contribute to the achievement of some design goals while possibly
hampering the achievement of other design goals. For example, achievement
of the design objective, “materials used for the structure are inherently resistant
to the effects of earthquakes and typhoons,” may result to disaster-resilience
and low maintenance, but may not result to low initial cost. Thus, in such cases,
the NHA design team had to consider satisfying design goals in varying degrees;
that is, although a strategy may not completely satisfy a certain design goal, it
must neither completely prevent that design goal from being achieved.

DESIGN CHECKLIST
This design process was enabled and applied through a design checklist.
The design checklist was created to aid NHA designers in ensuring that each
and every design objective was considered and reflected in the design of
housing models.

34 35
The Design Challenge
Shelter design greatly influences the habits and lifestyle patterns of
people and the way that they relate to the built environment and nature. The
design challenge confronting planners and builders today is how to address
climate change adaptation and gender issues, and how to find ways to
transform their inputs into concrete and viable housing solutions. Another
challenge is the problem of providing livable and sustainable housing vis-a-vis
construction costs and affordability. Production and construction costs have
been constantly going up while family incomes have not proportionately
increased over the years, making it more difficult to provide quality affordable
shelter for the low-income sector. This design manual illustrates how NHA
addresses such challenges given the technical and financial issues confronting
housing construction for the low income.
Design Standards
Batas Pambansa 220 ( BP 220) a law that was passed in 1982,
authorizing the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board to establish and
promulgate two levels of standards and technical requirements for the
development of economic and socialized housing projects in urban and rural
areas, provided a framework for making available adequate housing for
average and low-income earners.
In 2008, revisions were made to the Implementing Rules and Regulations
(IRR) of BP 220. Such changes include the provision of the minimum lot size of 28
square meters, and the minimum floor area for a socialized housing unit at 18
square meters. Land use ratio for buildable and non-buildable areas is set at
70%-30% ratio.
NHA for its part, improved its own design standards in terms of lot and
housing unit sizes, as well as in the applicable land uses. The most recently
approved guideline for site development is now set at 60% saleable (residential,
commercial and industrial, institutional) and 40% non-saleable (open space
community facilities, easements, road networks and footpaths).
