This document discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on social housing projects in the Philippines. It notes that (1) informal settlers living in crowded homes cannot practice physical distancing, (2) some informal settlements lack clean water supplies and sanitation facilities, and (3) workers in the informal economy have little means to earn income if they stay at home. The pandemic has caused delays in constructing social housing projects due to difficulties in delivering materials and limiting worker mobility. It recommends ensuring food security, gender equality, access to adequate housing, health services, and livelihoods as part of the interim strategy.
