Research Paper Series no. 2017-01 An Assessment of the Community Mortgage program Implementation Strategy - 4 0 16; 5 (Quezon City : Philippine Institute for Development Studies, 2017)
ABSTRACT : the Community Mortgage Program (CMP) is a financing scheme that enables organized residents of slums to borrow funds for land purchase and housing development. It is already considered to be the most innovative and responsive government housing program in the Philippines. Nevertheless, the CMP still has weaknesses that have not been given much attention during the years of its implementation. These issues pertain to program targeting, service delivery, and organization. This study aims to review the current process and overall performance of the CMP, including its variants-the localized CMP and the High-Density Housing Progra. The study also provides recommendations on how the identified issues can be addressed.
