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.
