Competition and contracts in the voluntary sector: exploring the implications for
homelessness service providers in Philippines
-The Philippines is one of the fastest-growing economies in Southeast Asia, yet it is
facing a homeless crisis. There are approximately 4.5 million homeless people,
including children, in the Philippines, which has a population of 106 million people.
Homelessness in the Philippines is caused by a variety of reasons, including lost jobs,
insufficient income or lack of a stable job, domestic violence and loss of home due to a
natural disaster. The government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are
working to address this issue.
-This study explores the impacts of contractual government funding and competitive
tendering on voluntary organizations (VOs) providing homelessness services in
Philippines. In addition this proposal makes sense in our country. The main intention of
this research is to help the homeless people by bestowing upon them a permanent
shelter that they have never had before.  Another pertinent point is to reinforce the
eradication of the homeless people who are always wandering along the street.
