It further provides that LGUs shall prepare their land use plan for their respective localities in accordance with the provisions of this Act. In light of the above, the Urban Poor Shelter Plan is necessary for LGUs for the following reasons, @ to enable the LGUs to effectively and efficiently implement its mandate regarding shelter program implementation; * to provide the LGUs a better perspective of the housing situation of the urban poor particularly the informal settlers and outline shelter strategies with corresponding detailed implementation plan; and «© to ensure a focused efforts of different agencies concerned in the delivery of shelter for better coordination and realistic target-setting 1.2 Elements of the Plan Key elements of the Shelter plan include: ‘© an assessment of the current and future shelter housing requirements of the urban poor communities in Muntinlupa City a Comprehensive Shelter Development Framework to support the social, economic infrastructure and instititutional development intentions for the urban poor communities of the City; « strategies, programs and projects to bring to on-ground implementation of the Shelter Development Framework and Physical Concept Plan; © priority list of programs and projects that in the short, medium term, and long term to put the Plan to on-ground implementation; and « an Action Plan that defines the preliminary activities to implement the Plan. 4.3 The Planin Bi ‘The rest of the Urban Poor Shelter Plan is presented as follows: Section2 - is the Plan Base that provides a projection of the future housing requirements for the urban poor including a land supply- demand analysis Section 3 - _ provides a summary list of the shelter development issues Section 4 - specifies the Shelter Development Plan Framework in the form ‘of the Development Vision and Objectives and the corresponding indicators and targets.

The section also includes an analysis of the affordability of the different housing loan options and the willingness-to- pay of the intended community-beneficiaries. _In_making these projections, certain assumptions have been considered and oak sussed in each of the sections below { oA ot (| 2.2 Urban Poor Shelter Needs, 2006 - 2015, wh Based on the current backlogs indicated in Section 424i Volume | of this Report and using the population growth rate of Muntinlupa City, the urban poor shelter needs for the next #0 years from CY 2004- 201 fare shown in Table 2-1 a Table 2-1. _ Urban Poor Shelter Needs, 2006-2015 aN = [No.of Urban-Poor { Urban Poor Shelter Needs = Families | Urban Poor Skélter Backlog, 2006 Danger Zonts -PNR ROW, along the creeks, etc. 13,265 | Private Lands : : 16,653 Government Lands 4,180 | Total - 34,098 Urban Poor Shelter Additional Backlog, 2015.

This will then become one of the bases in the identification of the types of housing options for said beneficiaries. Table 2-2 provides the monthly amortization payments at 10% interest rate for a housing loan payable in 25 years based on the different housing options that can be considered for the urban poor in the City of Muntinlupa. ‘The cost estimates for the housing options are based on actual cost requirements for the construction of these housing units including the cost of land acquisition and mortgage payments. These’ payment terms follow the guidelines set forth by Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF) ___ Table 2-2. Housing Loan Amortization Schedule | Housing Unit | Amount of Monthly Options | Price | Loan***** | Amortization****** MRB* 260,000 200,000 1,678 Row House** | 240,000 180,000 1,510 Single | Detached*** | 340,000 280,000 2,544 | CMP#+e 140,000 80,000 | 515 | Notes *Unit Cost is PhP260,000 inclusive construction ‘**Doubled-up row housing units; unit cost is P240,000 4#*Unit cost is PHP342,000 inclusive of land acquisition and construction ‘+=4For on-site resettlement; unit price is for land acquisition only ‘+#++*PnP60,000 required equity ‘#s¢*Based on HMDF Loan Payment Schedule; 25 years to pay at 10% interest rate On the other hand, Table 2-3 shows the household incomes required for various mortgage amounts of possible housing development options. The required monthly incomes to pay for the amortization are based on the HUDCC national affordability level of “no more than 20% of the household income” ‘As shown in Section 4 of Volume 1, household expenditure is about 82% of the household income or a potential savings of 18% of income. If the median income of PhP15,950.00 would be the basis, then the potential household savings would be about PhP2,871.00. This potential savings will be more than enough to cover the required monthly housing loan amortization. On the other hand, if the income data for the PNR-ROW households as indicated previously in Table 4-9 in Volume 1 will be used — then, not all of the urban poor households will be able to afford the required monthly amortization of the MRB, row housing, single detached and even the CMP housing options. Table 2-4 shows the percentage of the households who can afford the different housing options. le 2-3. __ Required Monthly Incomes to Pay the Amortization [ ] Required Required | Amount of | Monthly Annals pen ontany aan | Amortizagon | 2ncomefor | Income to Amortization | Pay for Payments” | Amortization 200,000 | _1,678 100,680 8,390 180,000 | 1,510 90,600 7,550 ; | Detached*** | _ 280,000 2,544 152,640 12,720 CMP**** 80,000 515 30,900 | 2,575 “Based on HUDCC national affordability level of “not more than 20% of household income” Table 2-4. _Affordability Levels based on PNR-ROW Household Income _ | | Requires MontEyy % of Households | | Housing Options Income to Pay for ReteanAtionl | Amortization | | | MRB [8390 416 Row House { 7,550 41.6 | Single Detached 12,720 194 [emp = 2,575 58 Given these affordability levels and the financial limitations of the depressed families, there will be the possibility that a large number of the urban poor households in the informal settlements will be unable to afford the payment terms under the HDMF or Pag- TBIG Fund. The challenge then is to find and secure a financing window that will provide payment terms that are reasonable and yet affordable to the urban poor informal settlers in the City of Muntinlupa 2.4 Willingness-to—-Pay The results of the focus group discussions (FGD) with leaders of organizations, in the depressed areas or communities of urban poor informal settlers in the City of Muntinlupa, revealed that their members will be willing to pay the monthly amortization for housing from PhP600.00.to PhP1,500.00. The former represents the P20 daily savings that the households have signified that they can put up while the latter corresponds to the rental rate that the households in depressed areas. Given this data, together with the affordability analysis in Section 5.3, it can be deduced that the most possible housing options that can be acceptable and affordable to depressed communities are the row housing either through CMP, Habitat for Humanity or Gawad Kalinga (Couples for Christ) facilities. v Wecttamnt 9 fo Ni ek y NID prt op Err qeuvxwwewGge = "= =" == a se Vasa = WM SECTION TWO ha Plan Base 2.5 Land Supply Assessment Based on the study of MMUSPP-1, the potentially available land for the urban poor households in the City of Muntinlupa is about 306 hectares. However, only around 153 hectares may actually be made available for the purpose (Table 2-5 refers). Of these available areas, 50 hectares had been allocated from the 416.70 hectares New Bilibid Prison (NBP) Reservation (under the Department of Justice) for off-site-in-city resettlement purposes Other potential lands that may be used for the purpose of on-site resettlement include government and private lands which these communities actually occupy. To date, on- going initiative for securing land-ownership of the 11,771 families is being undertaken ‘Table 2-5. Estimate of Land Availability of Urban Poor ____ Households in Muntinlupa City [eae Da aMEEE ES |__Area (in hectares)* Potentially Available Land 7 306 Land that may be actually made 153 z| \ available si} From the data on the projected total number of urban poor households that need to be provided with shelter facilities, the total land requirement is estimated. Table 4-13 shows the estimated land requirement/demand for housing the urban poor in the Ci Muntinlupa. Combining this land requirement estimates with the data on land availability provide an analysis of the land demand-supply situation for Muntinlupa. As can be gleaned in Table 2-6, there will be a land supply deficit of 66 hectares. Thus, the City of Muntinlupa will need to identify additional available land, possibly still within the NBP area, to accommodate the housing requirements of the projected households. Table 2-6.

These approaches are briefly described below. 4.4.1 Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Shelter Provision ‘The Shelter Plan should be able to address not only the provision of housing facilities but should also meet the multi-faceted concems of all the affected urban poor communities within the City, In this regard, the plan must necessarily be comprehensive. At the same time, the Shelter Plan must specify the policies, strategies, programs and projects in the short, medium and long terms. Furthermore, the Shelter Plan should be consistent with other plans affecting the City of Muntinlupa. ‘These plans include, among others, the long-term comprehensive land use plan (CLUP), the City Development Plan (CDP), and other relevant plans of the national government agencies. 4.4.2. Multi-Stakeholder Participation One of the most critical components in the preparation of the Shelter Plan for the Urban Poor were inputs of other stakeholders in the plan — they provided their insights, visions and aspirations, future directions and purpose, These stakeholders involved in the Local Housing Board, which consist of the urban poor communities, the city government officials, city government concerned line offices, non-government organizations, and concerned national government agencies, The participation of these stakeholders would be useful in the promotion of the sustainability of the plan The urban poor communities were involved starting from baseline profiling through the provision of their local knowledge about their respective areas to the provision of inputs and feedbacks in the plan formulation process. Other stakeholders, meanwhile, SECTION FOU Development Framework participated in all the aspects of the planning process through various multi- sectoral consultation workshops There were three project consultations scheduled at various stages of the plan preparation. The first project consultation was made after the sectoral profiling and after analysis was made. The purpose of the consultation was to validate the information generated and fill the data gaps which were not captured during the information gathering activity. Such, also served as inputs in identifying constraints and opportunities for development; and became the basis in the formulation of the Plan Vision and Objectives during the same Workshop. The Vision and Objectives provided direction in the preparation of the comprehensive sectoral development plans. The second project consultation came after the formulation of the development strategies, programs and projects. The purpose was to validate the recommendations of the planning team and prioritize the identified programs and projects. The third consultation served as the venue for the preparation of the Investment Program and Action Plan, 4.4.3 Institutional Strengthening and Capacity-building A modified institutional and capability building approach was used since it was deemed more appropriate and sustainable for local government planning assistance than other (often) easy route taken by other LGUs - in allowing the assisting planning team to prepare the plan themselves. The general approach adopted in this project involved the creation of opportunities for substantial participation by other concemed offices in the local government. The interfacing with the client-LGU took place-at two levels: 1) with the Local Housing Board (LHB), the multi-sector body of the LGU in-charge in the implementation of socialized housing, and 2) with UPAO, the secretariat and technical arm of the LHB. The UPAO served as the counterpart staff of the Planning Team throughout the duration of the engagement. The LHB, for its part, constituted the core deliberative and decision-making body during the periodic public consultations that were built into the process. Capability building for the LHB, including other interested groups and stakeholders, was done through a series of seminar-workshop sessions. In these gatherings, they had the chance to deliberate the housing-related issues that were real and immediate but have long-term implications. ‘The exercise in local democracy enables them to arrive at a consensus regarding what they envisioned of their community to be and how they can shape up future events toward the attainment of their vision, On the part of the technical staff, capability building took the form of hands-on experience working as counterparts of the SURP Planning Team. Steps were taken to make the local counterparts feel they own the plan and are accountable for it. The plan will certainly be sustainable because the output, after the technical assistance, would not only be the plan (document) but also the acquired knowledge of how it was prepared, and the skill to actually do it SECTION FOUR Development Framework 4.4.3. Resource Mobilization In the preparation of the Shelter Plan, emphasis was always made on the need to mobilize own-source funds and other technical and financial assistance to support the subsequent implementation of the plan. It was made clear with the City Government of Muntinlupa and other stakeholders that the plan should be workable and implementable and should not only be a document containing just a “wish list” of programs and projects for housing the urban poor informal settlers.
