The Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC), an agency attached to the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD), has officially launched its new website, www.shfc.gov.ph, to enhance transparency and improve public access to the national shelter programs of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. that the agency implements.
The launch follows SHFC’s successful completion of requirements and approval from the Department of Information and Communications Technology for integration under the .gov.ph domain. It also coincides with the celebration of the 2025 National Shelter Month, which carries the theme “Build Homes, Build Happiness.”
By adopting the new domain, SHFC is now formally integrated into the National Government Portal (NGP), the central online gateway designed to unify all government websites. This move ensures compliance with national standards while enhancing transparency, accessibility, and efficiency in delivering services to the public.
“Through this platform, we are making it easier for Filipinos to access information, programs, and services in support of President Marcos, Jr.’s drive to make government services more accessible and transparent,” said SHFC President and CEO Federico Laxa.
The new site features a modern and mobile-friendly interface for easier navigation of SHFC’s programs, services, compliances, and updates. It also supports the full digitalization of services among Key Shelter Agencies by 2028, one of the core pillars of DHSUD’s 8-Point Agenda under Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling.
SHFC is also working to further enhance its digital services by enabling interested community associations to submit their application online for the Enhanced Community Mortgage Program (ECMP)—a revitalized version of its flagship Community Mortgage Program that assists legally organized associations of low-income groups to acquire and develop a tract of land under the concept of community ownership.
The agency also started preparations to integrate vital frontline services into the eGovPH app—a mobile application developed by the DICT that simplifies transactions between the government and citizens.
Started in 1927, the Philippines Graphic is the longest-running printed magazine of national circulation that provides relevant news and features and promotes Philippine literature.
