For the victims of natural calamities in Los Banos, there’s good news.

The Municipal Office of Los Baños, under the supervision of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), is offering a free housing project: the Core Shelter Assistance Program.

Priority beneficiaries, to be selected by LGUs, are people living in areas near danger zones (such as shores and uplands).

The Municipal Office and DSWD aim to build 500 houses by the end of 2013. As of now, 48 houses have been constructed in Lalakay and 66 in Maahas.  A total of 70 more houses are expected to be built this year.
