The Subdivision and Housing Developers Association (SHDA), in partnership with the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD), concluded its 32nd National Developers Convention on October 10-11, 2024, in Davao City.

The convention, “Puy-Anan Para Sa Tanan: Collaborating Towards a Unified Housing Roadmap,” marked a significant milestone by adopting key resolutions to advance the country’s housing and urban development through a unified housing roadmap.

Among the adopted resolutions is to craft the Unified Philippine Housing Roadmap for 2025-2040. Led by SHDA and developed in collaboration with select shelter agencies, LGUs, housing organizations, and private developers, the roadmap seeks to align efforts across the housing sector to tackle the country’s housing backlog and promote sustainable urban development. It also supports the government’s 4PH Program, providing a strategic framework for long-term housing initiatives.

Central to the roadmap is streamlining permitting and licensing processes for housing projects. SHDA advocates simplifying these procedures by partnering with DHSUD and other government bodies. Doing so ensures faster project approvals, digitizes processes, reduces delays, and improves the ease of doing business for developers.

“The adoption of a unified housing roadmap is a critical step toward addressing our nation’s housing challenges. By working closely with government agencies and private developers, we aim to turn this vision into reality and ensure affordable housing for all Filipinos,” said SHDA Chairman Ar. Leonardo Dayao Jr.

The convention brought together over 380 policymakers, developers, and stakeholders to address the pressing housing needs of Filipinos.

The resolutions and strategies adopted during the convention reaffirm SHDA’s commitment to addressing the country’s housing challenges. Through the Unified Philippine Housing Roadmap and initiatives such as streamlining processes, fostering innovative financing, and promoting sustainable practices, SHDA aims to significantly reduce the housing backlog and ensure that quality homes are accessible to every Filipino.
