On April 3, 2018, President Duterte signed AO No. 10, “Centralizing all Government Efforts for the Reintegration of Former Rebels and Creating for the Purpose an IATF.” As a result of the AO, an Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) was launched to provide assistance for former rebels who expressed desire to abandon armed struggle. To complement with the AO and E-CLIP, NHA established a comprehensive program that will provide a framework for the provision of housing assistance to former rebels.
Executive Order No. 110 s. 2020, “Institutionalizing the Comprehensive Social Benefits Program,” institutionalized the program as a mechanism to rationalized social benefits and assistance to qualified uniform personnel.
Pursuant to the EO, NHA Memorandum Circular No. 2020-049 was issued to provide the guidelines and procedures for housing assistance for the beneficiaries of AFP and PNP personnel who were killed or wounded during military and police operations.
Government Employees Housing Program (GEHP) was formulated in line with Section No. 2 of AO No. 9 s. 2011, “the NHA was directed to formulate, manage, and lead the implementation of Revitalized Government Employees and AFP/PNP Housing Program.”
Due to the clamor of other government employees and the previous experience in the old AFP/PNP program of the military and police personnel, NHA enhanced the housing units of the uniformed personnel and government employees.
