ABOUT 48,000 families stand to benefit from several housing projects which will be implemented through the partnership of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) and at least four local government units (LGUs) in Mindanao.

DHSUD Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar said he signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with City Mayors Rolando Uy of Cagayan de Oro and Erick Cañosa of Gingoog, and Municipal Mayors Jayfrancis Bago of Opol, Misamis Oriental and Dionisio Cabahug of Tubod, Lanao del Norte. The MoU signing took place on Monday at the DHSUD central office in Quezon City.
