Builders pressed on HLURB compliance

THE COUNTRY’S leading organization of socialized and low-cost housing developers recently called on its members and other developers involved in the efforts to provide decent mass housing to submit not later than March 31, 2014 an inventory list of their unconstructed socialized housing components for these to be credited in their socialized housing compliance.

Pursuant to the directives of Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB), the Organization of Socialized Housing Developers of the Philippines, Inc. (OSHDP) led by its President, Lawyer Christopher Ryan T. Tan, OSHDP made the call following the recent issuance of HLURB Memo Cir. 19, series of 2013.
The circular requires developers of socialized housing projects to submit to the HLURB Regional Field Office, where the housing project is registered or located, a written declaration on these constructed housing components.

Otherwise, these may no longer be used or credited in the developers’ compliance with the Balance Housing requirement under Section 18 of R.A. 7279, the Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992.
Under this rule all housing subdivision developers shall build an equivalent of 20% of the total units or of the cost of the development into socialized housing to cater to the needs of the homeless underprivileged, Atty. Tan explained.

For his part, Engr. Jefferson S. Bongat, OSHDP chairman, mentioned that the HLURB Circular applies to the following cases:

a) Utilization of the unconstructed housing components of the socialized housing projects after the issuance of their license to sell through joint venture with developers of main subdivision projects; and
b) Utilization of unconstructed housing components of socialized housing projects which were devolved as advance compliance for future main subdivision projects of the same developers.
