Housing board revamped

BAGUIO CITY (Dec. 9) — Mayor Braulio Yaranon has reconstituted the City Housing and Urban Development Board to take charge of implementing housing policies and programs.

Yaranon will spearhead the body, together with housing council committee chairperson Faustino Olowan as vice chairperson and action officer.

In Administrative Order No. 272, Yaranon also stated the specific function of the board to ensure more effective implementation of the housing programs pursuant to section 39 of Republic Act No. 7279 or the Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992.

The board was first created in 1998 by then mayor Mauricio Domogan.

The Special Committee on Socialized Housing Project of the city, which the mayor created earlier by virtue of Administrative Order No. 144, will form part of the order as a sub-committee. # Aileen P. Refuerzo/PIO
