Davao’s developers strengthening Mindanao’s housing collaboration
Housing policy doesn’t stop at compliance — it can also have an impact on the price of a home.
Under the balanced housing requirement, developers must allocate a portion of their projects for socialized housing, with different requirements for horizontal and vertical developments.
The discussion on ANC’s The Boardroom also looks at the escrow option and how compliance costs may affect overall project costs. As SHDA Chief Marketing Officer Regina Hahn-Siy explains, the amount involved can ultimately “trickle down to how much the house will sell for.”
SHDA continues to support constructive discussions on how balanced housing compliance can be made more responsive and sustainable, and is open to exploring alternative compliance mechanisms under RA 7279 and working with stakeholders on possible improvements to the Lina Law to further ensure that housing remains affordable, inclusive, and accessible for Filipinos.
Continue the conversation at the 34th SHDA National Developers Convention, happening September 16–17 at Marquis Events Place, BGC, Taguig City.
