| Abstract | This research study aims to contribute to the discussion on the role of the social sector in housing and to make recommendations for the housing sector and other planning groups. Being a long-standing national problem, the housing crisis has been a complex issue brought about by the overwhelming situation of poverty, the influx of rural folk to the cities, the high cost of land and housing unit production, rapid population growth, and limited capital of the government to provide housing for the people. These factors created manifestations that are especially apparent in cities through the increase of the slum population and housing needs. This study aims to: 1) perform case studies and examine the housing projects accomplished by the public, private, and people sectors in housing provision for the poor; 2) analyze the roles of the three actors by identifying its strengths and weaknesses; 3) identify housing provision strategies of each actor that may be emulated to facilitate the production of housing units for the poor. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the uniqueness of each planning actor’s role in shelter planning and that each actor has a particular ability and function that other actors cannot execute and achieve. The identification of strengths and weaknesses were vital in making recommendations to the housing sector. The findings and conclusions of this thesis focus on each sector’s unique system, dynamics and approach in housing provision. The major findings and conclusions are as follows: Public Sector Initiated Housing Project Displays stability in terms of financial and manpower resources Smooth project accomplishment Well-funded Can initiate and sustain large-scale housing projects The support of the mayor plays a key role in making housing a priority of the LGU Needs to empower the beneficiaries to be financially capable of paying the monthly amortization Private Sector Initiated Housing Project Mainly profit-oriented C |
