On 25 May 1989 and May 28, 2001 , Executive Order No. 357 and Executive
Order No. 20 were issued respectively, to strengthen HUDCC into department level
organization by conferring it with the power to exercise overall administrative
supervision over the key housing agencies; set and ensure the attainment of targets
and objectives for the housing sector; review the organization, programs and projects of
the key housing agencies; decentralize its operations and enlist the assistance of the
Department of Budget and Management in securing continuing funding support to the
National Shelter program.
In 1992, the Urban Development and Housing Act (RA 7279) mandated the
HUDCC to direct the formulation of a National Urban Development and Housing
Framework in coordination with the Local Government Units and other public and
private sector agencies; design of a system for the registration qualified socialized
housing beneficiaries and inventory of land suitable for socialized housing; and provide,
through its attached housing agencies, the LGUs with support for the preparation of
town and land use plans, data for forward planning and investment programming, and
assistance in obtaining funds and other resources for housing and urban development.
From 1986 to present, there are several executive and legislative issuances
including the three laws mentioned above, that provide or authorize HUDCC with
specific functions and/or require it to undertake certain tasks related to housing and
urban development. These legal and legislative fiats assigned duties and
responsibilities to HUDCC that are related to its original mandate as the lead agency in
housing and urban development

Two representatives from the Private Sector representing any of the following
groups: developers, bankers, contractors, professionals, and low-income
beneficiaries. At present, the private sector is represented by the following real

and projects;
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 integrated all housing efforts under a single agency, twenty-eight
years after the merger under the PHHC.
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.
On 26 March 1986, Executive Order NO. 10 was issued placing the NHA as well
as the other agencies attached to the abolished MSH, under the administrative
supervision of the office of the President. Subsequently, Executive Order No. 90 was
issued on 17 December 1986, rationalizing the housing structure in the government
along lines of specialization and concentration. EO 90 identified the key housing
agencies to implement the National Shelter Program and defined their respective
mandates. The NHA was mandated to be the sole government agency to engage in
housing production. Under the said Executive Order, NHA was placed under the policy
and program supervision of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council
(HUDCC), the umbrella agency for shelter charged with the main function of
coordination the activities of various government housing agencies engaged in
production, finance and regulation.
On 14 February 2019, Republic Act (RA) 11201 was issued creating the
Department of Human Settlement and Urban Development (DHSUD), under section 50
of said RA 11201 Executive Order (EO) 90 was released placing NHA and other
attached agencies and corporation under the administrative supervision for purposes of
policy and program coordination, monitoring and evaluation. NHA shall continue to
function as a production and financing arm in housing and shall exercise all other
functions based on its existing laws.
MANDATES
NHA was tasked to develop and implement a comprehensive and integrated housing
program which shall embrace, among others, housing development and resettlement,
sources and schemes of financing, and delineation of government and private sector
participation.
NHA was tasked to provide technical and other forms of assistance to local government
units (LGUs) in the implementation of their housing programs; to undertake
identification, acquisition, and disposition of lands for socialized housing; and to
undertake relocation and resettlement of families with local government units.
NHA was tasked with the implementation of the following components of the National
Shelter Program – the Resettlement Program, Medium Rise Public and Private
Housing, Cost Recoverable Programs and the Local Housing Program.
NHA was mandated to focus on socialized housing through the development and
implementation of comprehensive and integrated housing development and
resettlement; fast-tracking the determination and development of government lands
suitable for housing; and ensuring the sustainability of socialized housing funds by
improving its collection efficiency, among others.
NHA shall continue its function as a production and financing arm in housing and shall
exercise all other functions based on its existing charter and its other mandates as
provided under existing laws despite repealing EO 90.
