This study addresses the critical need for disaster-resilient housing in
Quezon Province, Philippines, which is highly vulnerable to natural disasters and
was severely impacted by Typhoon Ulysses in late 2020, resulting in significant
housing destruction and a substantial backlog, particularly in Infanta where many

informal settlers reside in danger zones. The research employed a descriptive-
quantitative method using interviews with National Housing Authority (NHA)

officials and surveys with 87 affected families in Infanta, supplemented by
government documents and literature, to understand the challenges and
beneficiary needs. Based on site analysis considering hazard susceptibility and
suitability, Brgy. Dinahican, Infanta with a total of 5.6 hectares, susceptible to storm
surges/tsunamis but otherwise suitable, was selected for a proposed 642-unit
housing development designed according to building codes and incorporating
community amenities and social act principles. The estimated total project cost is
P449,917,679.40, with financial viability supported by potential government
funding, allowing beneficiaries to pay approximately P255.93 monthly for the land
portion over 30 years. The study concludes that the proposed housing program is
a practical, important, and feasible solution to provide safe shelter and improve the
economic and social well-being of affected families through disaster-resilient
design, affordability, sustainability, community engagement, and livelihood
support.
