DOLE inks MOU for OFW housing with National Housing Authority

Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello shared on his Facebook account that DOLE and the National Housing Authority (NHA) together with the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), on the implementation of a socialized and low-cost housing program for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).

NHA General Manager Marcelino Escalada Jr. said last June that many OFWs have been asking to be part of the low-cost housing program but they are not eligible.
