As part of their mandate, the
Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) provides technical assistance to local government units (LGUs) in the formulation and review of their Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUPs). They also provide local government units with the necessary technical support to formulate standards and guidelines as well as prepare town and land use plans.
The CLUP is a document that plans for the future use of land in accordance with the future spatial organization of economic and social activities and the traffic of goods and people and guides land use activities, hence it can be directly translated into a long-term zoning plan or ordinance. The zoning ordinance is a legal document to enforce the LGUs land use plan.
Likewise, the
National Housing Authority also extends technical assistance to community association/cooperative or Local Government Units (LGUs) in terms of community organization, negotiation with the land owner, preparation of required development plans, formulation of disposition and collection schemes, and coordination with other national government agencies for the processing of required documents relating to resettlement and relocation.
