The National Housing Authority (NHA) has released P3.8 million in emergency shelter assistance to 333 families affected by recent fire incidents in Sampaloc, Manila.
The aid was distributed in two batches under the Emergency Housing Assistance Program (EHAP), which provides financial support to households whose homes were damaged or destroyed by disasters.
On October 3, P2.86 million was released to 47 families in Barangay 459, Zone 45. Two days earlier, about P940,000 was distributed to 286 beneficiaries in Barangay 458, Zone 45.
Each family received P10,000 to P20,000, depending on the extent of damage to their homes, based on assessments from the Manila Department of Social Welfare’s Disaster Response Operations Monitoring and Information Center.
The assistance, per NHA, aims to help residents rebuild and restore their homes after the fires.
