CABARROGUIS, Quirino, Jan. 28 (PIA) -- The Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) here has reported that the 1,830 families who were rendered homeless by the previous typhoons will soon have new homes through the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s Core Shelter Assistance Project. | |||
Provincial Social Welfare Officer Laura Matammu said the P202,883,600 fund from the DSWD intended for the project is now ready and the construction of houses has been started. | |||
