Partnership between LGUs and housing agencies sought: Akbayan Senator Risa Hontiverors on Monday said the “overstretched and overworked” housing agencies should partner with local government units (LGUs) and private developers to connect more poor families with socialized housing programs. At the budget hearing of the 2020 budget of government housing agencies, Hontiveros called on government to start a “review, expansion and promotion of partnerships towards housing initiatives.” Hontiveros chairs the Senate Committee on Finance - Subcommittee “H,” which tackles the national budget for the housing sector next year.
