Rodrigo Pagotaisidro, chief of the city government’s Housing and Land Management Division, said the recipients consisting of five families comprising the third batch of beneficiaries received Wednesday their HOMA.
Pagotaisidro said the recipients, whose houses were burned down during the siege, are all residents of Barangay Sta. Catalina.
The recipients of HOMA are all lot owners and the Php 30,000 worth of housing package they received included cement, sand, gravel, deformed bars, tie wire, plywood, lumber, galvanized (corrugated and plain) iron sheets and nails.
The HOMA is a program under the Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction (Z3R) Plan for internally displaced persons (IDPs) whose homes were burned down in fire incidents during the September 2013 siege last September.
Pagotaisidro said the distribution of the home materials is being done in batches.
Pagotaisidro said the succeeding distribution will be made in accordance to the verified listing of landowners prepared by his office.
The distribution of HOMA is led by the National Housing Authority (NHA) in cooperation with the city government through the office of Pagotaisidro.
The NHA has allocated Php 49.83 million for the HOMA.
The distribution of HOMA started March 28 with 30 families comprising the first batch of beneficiaries.
The second batch of beneficiaries that comprised also of five families received their housing package assistance last Tuesday. (PNA)
