Tolentino asks NHA to allow reallocation of unoccupied gov t housing units
MANILA - Senator Francis Tol N. Tolentino has asked the National Housing Authority (NHA) to devise guidelines that would enable the government to reallocate completed but unoccupied government housing units to qualified beneficiaries, especially the homeless and urban poor.
Tolentino stressed that since government housing units are considered a public good, unoccupied housing structures should be reallocated to qualified beneficiaries if the original tenants failed to occupy the unit within three years. We consider these (government housing units) as a public good, and as a public good, they should benefit the general public, said Tolentino.
