The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development on Tuesday said about 97,500 families affected by Typhoon “Odette” in six regions will each receive P5,000 worth of financial assistance.
“The joint memorandum circular will serve as the guide for the distribution of the assistance worth P4 billion. DBM [Department of Budget and Management] will be released to our LGUs [local government units] tomorrow [Tuesday],” Año said. “We are hastening efforts to immediately assist families in typhoon-hit regions, especially those whose homes were damaged or destroyed by Odette. We are also stepping up coordination with other government agencies to ensure faster delivery of relief and financial assistance to regions that were battered by the typhoon,” DHSUD Secretary Eduardo del Rosario said.
“In coordination with USAID and the International Organization for Migration, DHSUD had already distributed shelter-grade tarpaulin sheets to affected families,” it said.
