A PROPOSED LOW-COST MIXED-USE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT: EXPANSION OF DON VICTOR VILLE

Housing for low-income people is essential to allowing them to rebuild their lives and work from home. It will enable consumers to own quality homes at a reasonable price. In addition, it helped minimize the number of informal settlers in the city. Incorporating the concept of Filipino neighborhoods within the dwelling units would contribute to constructing a comfortable and positive environment. Implementing technology and innovations would save our natural resources while enhancing the comfort of our communities. Address the challenges and issues associated with the increasing number of households, people experiencing homelessness, and the formation of new families due to natural population growth and migration. The homeless urban poor are people whose homes were demolished or evicted and now live in dangerous places like flood-prone areas (CLUP, 2015). This researcher will develop the expansion of Don Victor Ville in the Phase 2 area. This development will encourage sustainable housing with a sense of a Filipino neighborhood. It will surround a retail store to promote a walkable area with social connectivity to interact with others. In addition, a sustainable home design contains convenient access to public mobility and maximizes some areas for green spaces. It could reduce the environmental impact of buildings and enhance their efficiency. This initiative provides low-income families with cost-effective housing that offers more than shelter. Giving them access to education, healthcare, employment, and public transportation may help them improve their lives. This will ensure the long-term cost and viability of the project. It offers convenient and walkable neighborhoods for inhabitants, eliminating the demand for private automobiles, fostering social relationships, and offering a healthy and exciting natural environment.
