Housing or shelter is considered as a basic need. The government continually pursues decent housing accessibility of its citizens. Using the 2010 Census of Population and Housing results, the Housing and Urban Development Council and Philippine Statistical Research and Training Institute developed a housing needs framework that identified four types of unacceptable housing units: homeless or not meant for human habitation; dilapidated; marginal; and, rent free lots without consent of owner.

Since the 2010 CPH did not generate household income and expenditure data, the study was not able to estimate the investment that the government may need to subsidize decent housing acquisition of households living in unacceptable housing units.

This research used the results of the 2012 Family Income and Expenditure Survey to estimate that investment. It evaluated the incomes and expenditure of households living in marginal housing units and units on rent free lots without consent of owner in order to determine their affordability levels in acquiring decent housing.

Keywords: housing needs; rent control; housing affordability

I. Background

The universal characteristics of human needs in the modern world include adequate

water and nutritional food, protective housing, security in childhood, physical security, non-hazardous physical environment, non-hazardous work environment, good healthcare, economic security, important primary relationship, safe child bearing, basic education and safe birth control. Basic needs apply to every individual in all situations, and they are met in accordance with environmental, social, cultural, political and economic circumstances. Meeting these basic human needs keeps a man from experiencing poverty.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an international set of goals, targets

and indicators which aim to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change by 2030. All UN member states, including the Philippines, are expected to use this as frame for political agendas and policies in the next 15 years. These goals are meant to expand and substantiate the goals and targets, to make them more concrete, achievable and sustainable.

The right to adequate standard of living which includes adequate housing is supported in

the Goal 11 of the SDGs which aims to “make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe

Page 3 of 20

resilient and sustainable”. The target for this goal is to “ensure access for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services and upgrade slums by 2030.”

Given the dramatic growth of slums and the housing sector’s enormous impact on

economies, asset building and individual wellbeing, it is clear though that housing must remain a priority if we are to build a more sustainable and prosperous future.

The Philippines is one of the developing countries that is experiencing the rapid growth

of cities coupled with increasing rural to urban migration giving birth to mega-cities. Extreme poverty is often concentrated in these mega-cities or urban spaces, and national and city governments struggle to accommodate the rising population in these areas.

Given the commitment of the Philippines through the SDGs, the HUDCC and key shelter

agencies give priority to households who are subject for eviction and eventually relocation from government lands and privately-owned properties.

In addition, the Philippines already have existing laws that may govern how this can be

done. The Urban Development and Housing Act or Republic Act No. 7279 of 1992, more commonly referred to as UDHA and one of the key shelter laws, aims to “uplift the conditions of the underprivileged and homeless citizens in urban areas and in resettlement areas by making available to them decent housing at affordable cost, basic services, and employment opportunities”.

Hence for the PSRTI 2016 research study on estimating housing needs, an

improvement was made on the detailed items of Accumulated or Current Needs by separating the households with tenure of “rent-free without consent of the lot owner” from the bulk of unacceptable type of housing. This particular group is quite important to shelter agencies because these are the households who are subject for eviction and eventually relocation from government lands and privately-owned properties.

This paper will use the estimates of housing needs from the PSRTI 2016 research study

and the results of the 2012 Family Income and Expenditure Survey to estimatethe investment that the government may need to subsidize decent housing acquisition of households living in unacceptable housing units.

The framework in determining the number of households living in unacceptable housing

unitsand households subject for eviction follow the framework used in the estimating the housing needs of PSRTI 2016 research study. This framework is basically an adaptation of the UN Component Method of Estimating Housing Needs.

It should also be noted that data were hierarchically extracted in estimating the housing

needs for the 2016 PSRTI research. The hierarchy of data extraction is as follows:

A. Accumulated Needs 1. HHs in Unacceptable Housing Units

a. Rent-free w/o consent of owner b. Makeshift/salvaged materials c. Homeless d. Dilapidated/ condemned

2. Doubled-up HHs in Acceptable Hus

Page 4 of 20

B. Future/Recurrent Needs

1. Allowance for Inventory losses 2. Increase in HHs (likely to afford to own acceptable HU)

C. Housing Needs Estimate

Understanding the hierarchy of data extraction and the framework used in estimating the housing needs of PSRTI 2016 research study is important because this helps explain why HUDCC and key shelter agencies give priority to households living in unacceptable housing units and households with risks of eviction. This is also consistent to the efforts needed to fulfil the target for SGD goal 11.

The following formula shows how the housing needs in the 2016 PSRTI research study

is computed and what are its components:

Housing Needs = Accumulated or Current Needs + Future or Recurrent Needs where Accumulated Housing needs is computed as follows: Accumulated Housing needs = A1 + A2 where A1 = Number of households living in unacceptable housing units; and A2 = Number of doubled-up households in acceptable HUs. but A1 is composed of the following: • Number of households living in rent-free housing units without consent of

owner; • Number of households living in barong-barong or makeshift/salvaged

materials; • Number of households who are homeless; • Number of households living in dilapidated/condemned housing unit and A2 is composed of the following: • Number of Housing Units (HUs) required for new households; and • Number of HUs to replace housing units lost due to obsolescence, floods,

fire, slum clearance, urban renewal, construction of highways, etc. while Future or Recurrent Needs is computed as follows: Future or Recurrent Needs = F1 + F2 where F1 = Number of HUs as allowance for Inventory losses; and F2 = Number of HUs need for increase in HHs (likely to afford to own

acceptable HUs)

Page 5 of 20

As described above, the householdsliving in unacceptable housing units and households subject for eviction are part of the accumulated needs component of the housing needs. These households are those with tenure of rent-free without consent of the lot owner and those households living in unacceptable/marginal type of housing units or made of makeshift/salvaged materials.

Figure 1. Housing Needs Framework: Construction of Units

It should be noted that the government enables the access of its citizens to decent

housing through the provision of subsidies. Llanto and Orbeta (2001) enumerates these subsidies as follows:

1. Public housing 2. Rent controls 3. Rent supplements 4. Income tax benefits 5. Loans at interest rates below market 6. Mortgage insurance and guarantees.

For purposes of determining the capacity to acquire a housing unit, the thrust of the

discussion on the affordability of the households for this study would be socialized and low cost housing only to find out whether the “underprivileged and homeless” citizens can afford to avail of the housing program offered by the government. Since the only source of income data is the FIES conducted by Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) or formerly the National Statistics Office (NSO),the terms and concepts used in the FIES shall be harmonized with the intent of the UDHA.

II. Objectives Estimate the investment needed to assist families that are considered to have housing

needs (NCR, Urban, Rural). Specifically it shall:

1. Evaluate incomes of families considered to have housing needs 2. Determine which items have the highest share in the expenditure share of families

considered to have housing needs 3. Estimate monthly savings of families that of families considered to have housing

needs 4. Compare savings, amount of decent housing units – socialized, low cost and

medium cost – and loanable amount being provided by housing finance institutions.

III. Methodology This is a comparative study using FIES 2012 data to determine the amount of savings

that can be used to avail of a decent housing unit. It evaluated whether the loanable amount being provided by housing institutions and corresponding monthly amortization, as shown in Table 1, is enough to avail of a decent housing unit. The housing finance institutions considred were the National Housing Authority (NHA); Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC) and Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF) or more commonly known as Pag-ibig fund.

The study consider the three areas.

1. NCR – since this is where most of the informal settlers families can be located 2. Urban – since the rate of development is different between urban and rural

areas. Barangays are considered urban if it has any of the following: with population size of 5,000 or more; with at least one establishment with a minimum of 100 employees; with five or more establishments with 10 to 99 employees, and five or more facilities within the two-kilometer radius from the barangay hall.

3. Rural – some housing units that may be considered as unacceptable in urban areas may be acceptable in a rural areas. Barangays that could not be classified as urban are considered rural.

The three types of housing units studied were:

1. Socialized – PHP 450,000.00 and belowper HUDCC MC No. 1, Feb. 19, 2014 2. Low-cost –

a. Level 1 = above PHP 450,000.00* to PHP 1,700,000.00** (BP 220 standard)per HUDCC MC No. 2, Jun. 8, 2015;

b. Level 2 = above PHP 1,700,000.00 to PHP 3,000,000.00 (PD 957 standard);

Only two of the housing needs indicators mentioned in the framework can be readily are

found in FIES 2012 – rent-free lot without consent of owner and marginal housing units. These were extracted hierarchically to avoid double counting since they are presumed to have overlaps. These can be defined as follows:

1. Rent free lot without consent of owner – This is based on tenure status of lot of

the family or household. Non-ownership of the lot can be reason enough for eviction. This is further magnified by the fact that the household was not able to get consent from the lot owner

a. Own house in rent free lot without consent of owner – materials used for the building of the house was shouldered by the family.

b. Rent free house and lot without consent of owner – the family used an existing structure or housing unit

2. Marginal housing unit – This is based on the construction materials of the housing unit.

a. Roof and walls made of salvaged materials – both the roof and walls were made of salvaged materials

b. Roof made of salvaged materials – the roof was made of salvaged materials but the walls may be built with strong or light materials

c. Walls made of salvaged materials – the roof may be built with strong or light materials but the walls was made of salvaged materials

IV. Results and Discussions

NCR Tables 2 shows that most of those that live in unacceptable housing in NCR own their

house despite living in a rent-free lot without consent of owner. The highest number is reported

Page 8 of 20

in the 5th income decile. Note that even in the highest decile, there are still families that live in unacceptable housing units.

Tables 4 shows that the largest expenditure of most families is still food. This is followed by housing, water and electricity. However, it should be noted that a large amount is being allocated to communication and miscellaneous expenses.

Table 5 shows that those living in marginal housing with roof and walls made of

salvaged materials had negative savings. That is, their expenditure is higher than their income. The table also shows that the amortizations being required by the NHA and SHFC can be paid by households in own houserent free lot without consent of owner and marginal housing with only roofs made with salvaged materials.

Table 6 only considered those that had a negative difference between their savings and

the monthly amortizations. This will mean that help will only be given to those who really can’t afford monthly amortizations. The subsidy is lowest if the loan is from the NHA.

Table7s 7 shows that most of those that live in unacceptable housing in urban areas also own their house despite living in a rent-free lot without consent of owner. The highest number of families living in unacceptable housing units may be found in the 7th income decile. Same as with NCR, even the highest decile have families that live in unacceptable housing units.

Tables 8 shows that some of the deciles in the other urban areas have higher average incomes than those in NCR. If we also compare this to Table 1, we can say that the average monthly income may be able to cover the amortization amount being required by the housing financial institutions. Moreover, non-NCR areas have lower required amortizations.

Table 9 shows that food has the highest allocation in the expected income. Though this

is followed by housing, water and electricity, a substantial amount is still being apportioned to miscellaneous expenses.

Tables 13 shows the average income of families in rural areas. Comparing this to Table

1, it seems thatt the average monthly income may be able to cover the amortization amount being required by the housing financial institutions.

V. Conclusions and Recommendations The results show that the acquisition of decent housing units may need to be advocated.

Families or households will be able to pay the amortization being required by NHA if they lessen expenditures in other items. Barring this, the government will need to invest an additional 4.35 million as additional subsidy to assist NCR families that are still unable to pay the amount being required.

HDMF amortizations is very high and households living in unacceptable type are unable

to afford them. Below is the summary of subsidies that may be required:
