Building Safe and Secure Communities

By 2022, Filipinos will have access to affordable,
adequate, safe, and secure housing in well-planned
communities. There will be proper delineation of
roles and mandates of housing agencies, which will
lead to efficient provision of direct and indirect
housing assistance and effective urban planning.
Housing targets are provided in Tables 12.3 to 12.5 of
the full PDP 2017-2022 document.
