HUDCC PROFILE
The Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) is the government agency under
the Office of the President created by virtue of Executive Order No. 90 (s. 1986), which serves as the
oversight, the over-all coordinator, initiator and facilitator of all government policies, plans and programs for the
housing sector; sets the overall direction and targets for the sector; and determines strategies, formulates

tenure security, urban renewal and other support services, provision of overall administration and supervision
to Key Shelter Agencies (KSAs), and provision of technical assistance to the Local Government Units (LGUs)
on the delivery of housing services to their constituents.
The HUDCC, together with its attached Key Shelter Agencies, addresses various issues in the areas of
housing finance, housing regulation, housing production and institutional development.
HISTORY
The Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) was created by then President
Corazon C. Aquino by virtue of Executive Order No. 90 dated 17 December 1986. The EO, which also
abolished the Ministry of Human Settlements, placed HUDCC under the direct supervision of the Office of the
President to serve as the highest policy making body for housing and coordinate the activities of the key
housing agencies to ensure the accomplishment of the Government Shelter Program.
On 25 May 1989 and May 28, 2001 , Executive Order No. 357 and Executive Order No. 20 were issued
respectively, to strengthen HUDCC into department level organization by conferring it with the power to
exercise overall administrative supervision over the key housing agencies; set and ensure the attainment of
targets and objectives for the housing sector; review the organization, programs and projects of the key
housing agencies; decentralize its operations and enlist the assistance of the Department of Budget and
Management in securing continuing funding support to the National Shelter program.
In 1992, the Urban Development and Housing Act (RA 7279) mandated the HUDCC to direct the
formulation of a National Urban Development and Housing Framework in coordination with the Local
Government Units and other public and private sector agencies; design of a system for the registration
qualified socialized housing beneficiaries and inventory of land suitable for socialized housing; and provide,
through its attached housing agencies, the LGUs with support for the preparation of town and land use plans,
data for forward planning and investment programming, and assistance in obtaining funds and other resources
for housing and urban development.
From 1986 to present, there are several executive and legislative issuances including the three laws
mentioned above, that provide or authorize HUDCC with specific functions and/or require it to undertake
certain tasks related to housing and urban development. These legal and legislative fiats assigned duties and
responsibilities to HUDCC that are related to its original mandate as the lead agency in housing and urban
development.
