Military and police housing units intended for low-earning personnel were improperly given to high-ranking officers, left vacant, or remained unawarded.

Why It Matters

Recommended Actions

• Strictly comply with AO No. 9, on the awarding of units to the low-salaried uniformed men and women of the AFP, PNP, BFP, BJMP and BuCor as the qualified beneficiaries, and paragraphs 14 and 16 of Joint Resolution No. 2, which is consistent with NHA's mandate, on granting the housing units to other qualified beneficiaries, especially those belonging to the lowest 30 per cent of the urban income -earners
• Revisit the MC No. 2018 -021 on the awarding of the AFP/PNP housing units by considering the following: • Timeline for the AFP/PNP Housing Board to fully award the completed housing units to qualified beneficiaries, and occupancy of awarded units by military beneficiaries/awardees temporarily reassigned to other areas and those with other valid causes
• • Defined obligations of the beneficiaries once awarded the housing units
• And • Guidelines on when and how the other low -salaried government employees, ISFs, unprivileged and homeless families and other qualified beneficiaries can avail of the vacant/unoccupied/unavailed housing units under the AFP/PNP Housing Program.
